Borries speaks about »Designing forms.« at the TDC Day. Between
4 April 4 and 26 Aprilbook is presented in the ginza graphic gallery, Tokyo.
»Formulare gestalten.« [Designing forms.] is a comprehensive guide book for the designing of paper and online forms. It proves that the design of application forms, order forms, questionnaires, checklists, bills, statements, tickets and certificates can be both appealing and functional. It explains how companies and public services can communicate better with better forms and examines methodically how to design forms in an user-centered way. With more than 60 case studies presented the book is a reference for designers, private companies and public services.
»Overall, a fundamental book for everyone who wants to make life easier. And a book that is real fun to read because it is written in an entertaining way and – quite untypically for anything connected with forms – is also spiced with humor.« Jochen Rädeker, form, edition 217, 2007; Read the complete review here.
»Far from boring, this insightful book … will earn itself more than a few checks in the ›recommendable books‹ column.« www.paperideas.it
