The Tuts+ Web Design Instructors are an opinionated bunch, so I asked them what their favourite design books are. Here’s what they think you should read, broken down into digestible sections: Design Principles Responsive Web Design UX and Usability Typography SVG CSS WordPress JavaScript 1. Design Principles Universal Principles of Design By William Lidwell, Kritina Holden and Jill Butler. It’s organized like a glossary, not like a text-book but I still remember how much I learned about design concepts, psychology, perception and usability just by reading this book. It was the first time I read about things like Gestalt, grids or the Occam’s razor. A great reference book and a great introduction to some universal concepts we should learn, to be not only better professionals but also better thinkers. Recommended by Armando Sotoca The Non-Designer’s Design Book For absolute beginners The Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams is excellent
