5.0 out of 5 stars Insert flap A but don't throw away, 17 Oct 2007

By	Robin Benson - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is not one of those 'How to design instructional material for Dummies' books (if it was I certainly wouldn't own a copy) but a beautifully designed and printed book with hundreds of illustrations and diagrams showing how designers have attempted to explain, mostly visually, how we should handle everyday technology. Not only technology but simple stuff too, page eighty-seven shows the instructions, usually printed on tissue paper as I recall, on how to complete one of this little wooden puzzles you can buy in arcade shops, this one is for a camel.

Instructional design is serious stuff, a matter of life and death in some cases. The fold-out on page forty-seven shows forty-one examples of those emergency exit and life jacket cards you find in the seat pocket facing you on a plane. Although they all provide the same information, the type of illustration and layout is different in each example.

Simple instructions can be the hardest to put across, just how do you depict, in a simple visual way, the action of washing out your mouth with a glass of water, page 126 shows how with a profile of a boys head and four arrows describing a circular motion printed on his cheek, his hand holds a tilting glass with the water.

Here is a lovely book for graphic designers to leave on their coffee table.

5.0 out of 5 stars You've never seen a book like this. Its fun, get it!, 15 Nov 1999

By A Customer

Infodesigners are a truly creative bunch, capable of creating an impressive variety of infodesign books. There's Richard Wurman's paradigmatic Information Anxiety, and Follow the Yellow Brick Road, then Tufte's series of severely elegant books, and then, then there's Mijksenaar, now with Piet Westendorp. I called (in a review for amazon.com) Mijksenaar's first book on Instructional Design a design manifesto. This time, Mijksenaar and Westendorp succeeded in creating an entirely new category of information design books: the infodesign cabinet of curiosities. You can also think of it as the poetry of information design. Again, theory is not the forte in this book, but then it is not meant to be. The book is a fascinating source of informational imagery, which can be read in different ways. You can approach this book in a fairly serious way, and learn quite a lot (mostly through you own efforts) or else you can approach it with a more leisurely mind (as I am sure most designers will) and delight in the glowing successes and abject failures of the visual instructions so profusely exemplified. A designer colleague snatched the book from my hands and said 'This is really cool'. I think so, too. Get the book, it is really fun.
