Summary: Lucid visual essays on Information Architecture
Comment: "A picture is worth a thousand words."Discovering Clement Mok's book has been one of the few high points in my past two years' tedious but exciting research on instructional/information design.
Suddenly, many vaguely articulated concepts (about Information Architecture, Identity Design, Information Design, Interactivity Design and so on) by others (including reputable professors and acclaimed authors) became integrated and crystal clear for me while flipping through Mok's book. What many other people had tried to describe using thousands of words, Mok has managed to summarize with one or two pages of elegantly lucid info-graphics!
I salute you, Mr Mok! When is 2nd Edition coming out?

Summary: Buying it for a second time!
Comment: This book is an exhilarating view of where we might be (or are) headed in the far-reaching realms of design.Mok touches on "traditional" 2-D and 3-D structures, objects, products, print, and information design - as well as the information age equivalents of these - but it is mainly a very graphic exploration of the world inbetween and beyond.
I have recommended this book to corporate identity professionals, architects, and marketers - usually as a tool to help them explore digital opportunities and the future. I even loaned the book to a former colleague - who loaned it to her former colleague. I suppose they both liked it too much to return it to me and here I am six months later buying another copy...

Summary: Non-linear design philosophies embodied
Comment: The one thing this book imparts to it's reader that is invaluable and easily overlooked is that there are multiple manners, behaviors, and paths to organizing an interactive piece of work. And that these manners, behaviors, paths can be identified and used in the most proper contexts. This book helped empower me with a language needed to present the best solutions in website development where the listeners (and decision makers) would have had much room for intereptation and misunderstanding. Those sloppy allowances can cost a project weeks, even months with considerable fiscal and opportunistic ramifications.
