The Senses: Design Beyond Vision Hardcover – May 15, 2018

Inspiring and moving!

I needed a book like this and wasn't expecting it until next week but I was surprised to find that it came earlier than expected!! Great for artists who wanna learn more about visual design

And I didn't understand that. I thought it was a more research-based neurobiology book. Although it was not what I expected, it was very well written, clearly illustrated, and offered insightful as well as provocative perspectives toward a more universal approach to design. Although humans are enormously visual creatures, there are more primitive areas of our brains (particularly olfactory and gustatory) that deeply affect how we perceive our world.

How odd that the designer of this book made a lot of it inaccessible to read. Tiny, dense typography, column after column. I'm a disability advocate, a person with a disability and a long time designer. I had high hopes for this book, and some of it was fabulous but I've had it for months and still can't pick it up to fully read because the accessibility of typography throughout the book is hard work for the eyes. Very hard work. Less text would have helped immensely. Larger, aired out font and leading, less density. Sad to have to say this.

Design para todos os sentidos, informação e mensagens estruturadas para um mundo melhor.

Love this book!

Case studies in abundance

It should be read, it should be taught. Full of useful thought to be applied to all design fields.

This is an amazing book! My only criticism is that it’s a book about universal design and some of the text colour on background makes that tough! But the book is beautiful, full of amazing recent research and is a reasonable size for home and office. I love it!
