Ask HN: Design and UX

1 points by massappeal 12y ago ↗ HN

I am a liberal arts grad from the Bay working sales and marketing for a Start-up, but I am interested in learning UX and design, so I was just curious if you guys had any recommendations for where I should start? I know there are a lot of resources out there to learn programming and web development, but I am less informed about what's available for design.

Thanks!

To me, the most fundamental thing to get familiar with is typography — especially pre-digital type. Here are a few leads for you:

Die Neue Grafik, Josef Muller-Brockmann, The Elements of Typographic Style, Jan Tschichold.
