My design department recently read and discussed this book, and we found the content to be quite useful in helping us match our intuitions to solid design principles. Many of us knew these principles but didn't necessarily know <i>why</i> we knew them. Now we have a stronger sense of purpose when designing, more rationale to support to our designs, and greater ability to talk about design principles with our clients. In short, this is a good resource for helping to improve your designs and your relationships with clients. We also found this book to be a good discussion starter. We chose to go through the book using the categories provided in the book. With categories such as, "How can I help people learn from a design?" and "How can I make better design decisions?" you can't help but create lively discussions within your team. Plus, we worked hard to bring in examples of the principles, so we could see them applied in the designs around us. It worked for our team; it could work for yours as well.
