Further Reading
Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics [McC94] offers insight into how people “read” images. If you want to learn more about designing icons, I also recommend Adrian Frutiger’s Signs and Symbols: Their Design and Meaning [Fru98].
Max Steenbergen talks about the trade-off between attractiveness and functionalism in his essay “Eye Candy vs. Bare-Bones in UI Design.”[71]. Kate Meyer outlines how the trend towards less realistic, more “flat” design, has decreased user efficiency in her essay “Long-Term Exposure to Flat Design: How the Trend Slowly Decreases User Efficiency”[72].
