The Design of Everyday Things Lecture 1

Having just completed Lecture 1, I can recommend at least one-third of the course to people out there. The ideas of signifiers, affordances, and conceptual model are critical ones that every person working with UX should be aware of.

For the engineers out there like myself, you will enjoy the problem-solving aspect of the course, and it will definitely teach you how to look at the ‘mechanics’ of design a bit more curiously, as well as how to develop stronger instincts about design.
