Hi all!

If ur doing the thesis about graphical guidelines and so on.. then one good book is called:
 * Huom**! : visuaalisen viestinnän käsikirja** from Loiri Pekka and Juholin Elisa . The content is pretty much about visual communications and the main topics are: "Visuaalisen viestinnän käsikirja opastaa **j**ulkaisujen (verkko ja printti) hyvään taittamiseen, harkittuun **typografiaan**, **kuvien ja värien käyttöön**, tarkoituksenmukaisiin kirjapainoratkaisuihin ja **oikeisiin materiaalivalintoihin**."

 * HCI Masters in Uppsala University**

Hi everybody,

I continued studying HCI in Uppsala university Autumn 2010. I thought I might share information about books that we use here.

I made my bachelor thesis about social science and I had kind of a problem how to conduct the research study. The key to tackle this problem is to read about //Research Methods//. In our course we use book called:

Anthony M. Graziano, Michael L. Raulin : Research Methods: A Process of Inquiry

The book is very interesting, it is about how in theory the scientific research should be conducted in the field of social science. Eventhough, it has heavy stuff in it, it is written in american way with lots of examples and repetitions/summaries.

In practical side we use:

David Benyon: Designing Interactive Systems: A Comprehensive Guide to HCI and Interaction Design

This cover well theory of designing interactive system.

So these are the books that we have used this far. I'll add more reading when we get them.

If you have anything to ask concerning studying HCI Masters in Uppsala fell free to ask tuomas_oja@yahoo.com.
