👁️🗨️ NOTES:
_ Tap into the picture of the book there will be a line at the bottom said: "Go to Link."
👉 That is the link to my notes about the book.
_ If you don't see the line that means I have not read or write anything about the book yet.
_ So that I am putting the book on the weekly page, I would include it down to this page.

Steal like an artist_Austin Kleon:
✔️ "Steal Like an Artist" is a motivating guide to creativity in the digital era that offers ten revolutionary concepts to help readers explore their artistic side and live a more creative life. Nothing is unique, so embrace it, educate yourself through others' work, remix and reinvent to find your own route.
✔️ Steal Like an Artist also gave me the motivation I needed to start thinking more creatively. Despite the simplicity of the book and its message, it is evident that Austin Kleon has dedicated his life to creativity and using it to create creative work (poetry, writing, drawing). This book is for you if then you'll be trapped in a rut like I was.
✔️ "Steal Like an Artist" has also shown me a part of the life of a project looks like. And, yes maybe right now everything I am doing can be missing and can be "sucks and it's boring" but in the next path of 2 to 3 months from now, I could decide what I am going to do next!
✔️ I am really like the part that we could be showing to others what I am wondering about to have the next step in this journey. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic and we are actually being lockdown, my class can't show up at school so is sharing with others is harder than I thought. But as normally, I, Zoe, Oh and Trang always sharing our projects so it is actually helping us to continue on our own way in our own projects.
✔️ The book also motivated me in this FMP path lots with knowing myself by doing and making things.
"You’re ready. Start making stuff. You might be scared. That’s natural."
👉This is making me remember the Impostor syndrome. (“a psychological phenomenon in which people are unable to internalize their accomplishments”)
👉Another motivation for my project about "The idea between Designer and the Craftsmanship."
_ As Lynda Barry once said, “In the digital age, don’t forget to use your digits! Your hands are the original digital devices.”
_ So I think this is one of the best things about this book.
The Design of everyday things_Don Norman:
✔️ The Design of Everyday Things demonstrates the possibility of good, practical design. The rules are simple: make things visible, make use of natural linkages that link function and control, and use restrictions wisely. The goal is to seamlessly steer the user to the correct action on the correct control at the correct time.
👉 A lot of people was disappointed with the book because it is not a bible for designer's bible. This book is more of a UX researcher's. If studying human factors engineering, human-computer interaction, or any other related field; your professors, peers, and colleagues will reference this book and Don Norman.
👉 The book in particular has show concepts covered explore how we look at the world and processes what we see and its influence on design (or lack of!).
