Continuing the free ebook spree, I’ve found 3 more on creativity and design.

The first one is a bit old, from 2004, but I still hadn’t heard about it. It’s How to be creative by Hugh MacLeod, the famous cartoonist behind gapingvoid. It’s a great read, very stright to the point like his cartoons and shares some inspiring experiences. Recently he got a book contract and will be releasing a book on the same subject called Ignore Everybody.

  


The other two ebooks I still hadn’t time to read properly, but look very promising. I have to thank Amy Hoy for sharing them. The first one is a somewhat short document describing several design concepts: appropriateness, timelessness, responsibility, and so on. It’s The Vignelli Canon by Massimo Vignelli. The second is How do you design? by Hugh Dubberly and contains an overview on all kinds of design processes, even software development models.

Good reading.
