Designing for People
Ron Kemnitzer, this year's visiting professor in the CMU School of Design, gave the Nierenberg lecture tonight. It's inspiring to see someone dedicated to the idea that Design can be a positive factor in advancing society.His design philosopy was shaped early on by reading Designing for People by Henry Dreyfuss. It's long out of print, but as luck would have it Peter Merholz is right in the middle of sharing some spreads and commentary from his copy of the book over at his site.
