Design for Hackers: Reverse Engineering Beauty

"If you want to learn to create great design yourself...there simply is no way to do so with lists of rules. Instead, I want to provide you with a new set of eyes through which you can see the world anew." -David Kadavy Why did Monet never use the color black on his paintings? Why is the golden ratio not all it's cracked up to be? Why is Comic Sans such a hated font? It's amazing what you can learn about great web design by asking questions like these. Award-winning designer David Kadavy uses this "reverse-engineering" process in Design for Hackers to deconstruct classical design principles and techniques for web designers. Using an eclectic array of reverse-engineered examples, ranging from Twitter's latest redesign, to Target's red shopping carts, and ancient graffiti from the walls of Pompeii, he explains: Color Theory: How can you enliven your designs by understanding how colors interact? Proportion and Geometry: How can you establish a grid that is suitable for the device on which your design with be displayed? Size and Scale: How can you create clean design just by choosing the right type sizes? White Space: How can you use it elegantly to communicate clearly? Composition and Design Principles: How can you use them to make your designs more compelling? Typographic Etiquette: What tiny typographic details can make a huge difference in what you're communicating?
