Design & Non-Designer Books Every Creative Should Read .01
I ‘m sure if your reading this then I’d have to guess your bookshelf’s or kindle list’s of UX and UI books like no other. Makes sense we tend to focus topics that directly relate to our career and passions. As the reading list’s keep piling up though, you can start to notice something is missing and that it’s just about UX and UI. It’s out of context for what we are designing for. We need to look beyond the workflows and process’s once in while and expand our horizons.
We can easily be left behind if we don’t remember take a look around once in a while and immersive ourselves in our topics. Learning other subjects, changing our mindset, expanding our depth of knowledge of the world around us. These insights can only strengthen our skills for what lies ahead.
Happy Reading!
