Historia
El diseño no tiene por qué ser complicado, por eso esta guía de diseño centrado en el ser humano muestra que la usabilidad es tan importante como la estética. Incluso los más inteligentes pueden sentirse ineptos al no saber qué interruptor de la luz o del horno hay que encender, o si hay que empujar, tirar o deslizar una puerta. La culpa, argumenta este ingenioso —incluso liberador— libro, no la tenemos nosotros, sino el diseño de productos que ignora las necesidades de los usuarios y los principios de la psicología cognitiva.

Historia
Amidst the waking nightmares of today, the solace of goth looms from behind the shadows to soothe our morbid anxieties. Permeating pop culture at every level - fashion, music, film, beauty - what was once the preserve of the hooded misfit, has now seeped into the mainstream. Which can only mean one thing: must be the season of the witch. To further inspire and illuminate the darkness, interspersed throughout we hear from notable goths and goth coded people like Anjelica Huston, Aryuna Tardis, Christina Ricci, Michèle Lamy, and Simone Rocha on what this eldritch culture means to them.
