Why the honoree chose the book
The Design of Everyday Things elegantly blends basic and applied science, bringing cognitive psychology to the design of objects, products and systems. If Norman's insights seem common-sense to us now, it is only because, for the last 30 years, his clever observations and well-founded guidance have informed the design of the most beautiful and useful things around us.
