So, still need a gift for the design geek on your holiday shopping list?*
I’ve mentioned Stephen Anderson before (I’m a big ol’ fan), but I particularly love his Mental Notes cards, which cover dozens of psychology principles that impact how we design. Need to jump start your design process? Pull a few cards out the deck, and talk about how you can incorporate those ideas.
You can order them here: http://getmentalnotes.com/
I particularly mention it now because (aside from the fact that these are awesome) Stephen is donating half the proceeds right now.
* Yes, I know it’s a little late to order holiday presents (story of my life), but you can print some sample cards to use a placeholder gift until the real ones arrive.
Thanks for the info.. I enjoy finding new ways to bend my brain and make the process of designing and leaning more efficient.
Looks like a fun resource. Thanks for sharing!
Great resource! I’m new to the field and in my infancy of learning about the sector I am so interested in. These cards will be a life saver as my current process for developing training material is more along the lines of a haphazard fall off a cliff in which I just happen to land in a fine assortment of jello. ( : My knowledge base is piecemeal as I have just effectively identified which learning theories I evoke when I’m developing. My classmate recommended your blog and I will most definitely follow. Now, let’s get your book!
