Resources
Mullet, Kevin; and Sano Darrel. 1995. Designing Visual Interfaces. Communication Oriented Techniques. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice Hall.
Agile book on visual design, focused on the visual and functional design aspects.
Nielsen, Jakob. 1993. Usability Engineering. San Diego: California Academic Press.
A (dated) wide collection of usability papers. Still a reference book as regards usability.
Norman, Donald A. 1993. Things That Makes Us Smart. Defending Human Attributes in the Age of the Machine. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Perseus Books.
Not as illuminating as "The Design of Everyday Things", but definitely worth reading.
Norman, Donald A. 1990. The Design of Everyday Things. New York: Doubleday.
A classic, interesting even for non-specialists.
Shneiderman, Ben. 1998. Designing the User Interface, Third Ed. Reading, Massachusetts: Addison Wesley.
If you need one (introductory or not) book on user interface design, go for this one.
Preece, Jenny. 1994. Human Computer Interaction. Reading, Massachusetts: Addison Wesley.
Compendium on the field, from an academic viewpoint (a bit dated anyway).
Tufte, Edward R. 1990. Envisioning Information. Cheshire, Connecticut: Graphic Press.
As interesting as the others in the classic three-book series from Prof. Tufte on the visual representation of information.
Tufte, Edward R. 1997. Visual Explanations. Cheshire, Connecticut: Graphic Press.
Maybe the less compelling of the three, but worth studying (rather than merely "reading").
Tufte, Edward R. 2001. The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. Second Ed. Cheshire, Connecticut: Graphic Press.
The first and the best of the three books by Tufte. An unmatched "visual" classic.
Various Authors. 2001. Java Look And Feel Design Guidelines, Second Ed. Reading, Massachusetts: Addison Wesley.
Look and feel guidelines for the Java platform. A well-crafted example of such kind of documents.
GUI design and usability on the Web:
