How to Design Cool Stuff with John Mcwade

I read the "Before & After: How to Design Cool Stuff" book and found it to be an educational read with clear visuals of important design principles. The auther John Mcwade takes apart a design that you know looks good and then breaks it down and explains why it's visually pleasing. You can watch his free videos - short and with super useful techniques. Here's an example of one I love:



Simplicity and sensibility are the two words that describe John's methods. I recommend his book, connecting with him on Facebook and sign up to his design mags.
