I need to learn more about designs. I was not born with such talent but designing have been part of my job no matter how I try to avoid it. Now, my tasks are getting more challenging and I need some inspiration to take me to the next levels. :thumbsup:

Morning,

I'd like the book because:

- Doing design for years taught me that that I will never know it all...gotta keep learning.
- It will help me find that happy place where form compliments function
- Because I said please? ;)

The aspects covered in this book are the fun things about Design, and it's hard to find credible material to fill that void of knowledge.

Thanks for the chance to win!

Take care,
Wysi

I've been a graphic designer for almost 6 years now. A couple years ago I received my first book on usability design from my manager. The book was called Everyday Design (http://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-T ... 907&sr=8-1), This book rocked my design world! It really changed the way I thought about design overall. The Universal Principles of Design looks like a more in-depth read, which is exactly what im looking for!

Hi,

this book is of interest to us, because we are a new founded online agency with 7 highly motivated colleagues and everyone of us would like to tune up his knowledge.

I'm a freelance developer with all-around skills. Having invested time and money to improve my development abilities, I don't currently have the resources to attend pricey User Experience or Usability courses. Thus, formal user-centered design references is one thing I'm missing that makes this a welcome addition to my library.

I'm a poor student on a budget, and have seldomly the cash to buy cool books like this ;)

This is a fabulous resource, and I'm certainly not one to look the other way when a fabulous resource comes along! I'm looking to expand into contract work, and this would be a great way to get started. Fingers crossed!

I am always looking for new ways to improve my design whether for print or the web it's all good to understand.

Hello Chaps,

I am an addict for CSS ideas. I NEED this book! lol. Other then that the ridiculously plain book cover has me thinking of the old cliche phrase. I want to see if my judgment was correct.
