Description

Hackers are able to accomplish so much in so little time because they come from a community thats built upon sharing knowledge. When it comes to programming, they can learn whatever they need to learn by reading manuals, or simply typing in a Google search. But learning design isnt so simple.Many design books try to teach design through lists of «dos» and «donts.» But hackers know you need a deeper understanding of something to really do it well. Design for Hackers takes apart design by «reverse-engineering» Impressionist painting, Renaissance sculpture, the Mac OS X Aqua interface, Twitters web interface, and much more. Youll learn about color theory, typography, proportions, and design principles. This theoretical advice is mixed with concrete, actionable advice such as suggestions for color scheme tools, and a chart of «all of the fonts youll ever need.»By the end of the book, youll be seeing design through new eyes.
