Ask DN: Any book recommendations for designing physical products?
almost 9 years ago from Taulant Sulko, Designer sulko.co
I am looking for a good book about physical product design processes/methodologies.

Brian Garcia, almost 9 years ago Perhaps you can watch the movie "Objectified", free on Netflix I believe.

Half theory, half philosophy:
The Laws of Simplicity and Designing Design.
Also +1 for The Design of Everyday Things.
Added these to my wish-list. I have heard some good stuff about The Laws of Simplicity.

I really enjoyed "Design is the Problem" by Nathan Shedroff: http://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/design-is-the-problem/
spencer syfrig, almost 9 years ago Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals is great and sounds like what you are looking for.

Check out The Industrial Design Reference & Specification Book
and yes "Objectified" on Netflix as someone said.
Ordered the book. I think I have watched that documentary a while ago. Maybe it's time to re-watch it.

+1 for “The Design of Everyday Things”
This is not a book, but you might find this little .pdf insightful. It talks about experience design using the example of a simple juicer.

I thought this book with its huge title was good: Universal Principles of Design, Revised and Updated: 125 Ways to Enhance Usability, Influence Perception, Increase Appeal, Make Better Design Decisions, and Teach through Design: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Principles-Design-Revised-Updated/dp/1592535879

As it turns out, there's a How to Start a Startup class that released about this today.
