The Non-Designer's Design Book
Robin Williams · Robin Williams (Peachpit) Paid Beginner
The classic that gives non, designers four principles they will use forever: contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. Inconsistent spacing and weak alignment are two of the biggest reasons a no, code app looks sloppy, and this book trains your eye to catch them. Short, example, heavy, and readable in a weekend.
- Alignment and proximity kill the scattered, thrown, together look
- Repetition of type and spacing makes a product feel like one thing
- Contrast should be strong and deliberate, not timid
