I loved this book in 1999 and it was outdated even then! I really wish the authors would revamp the examples and add material addressing contemporary issues with visual interfaces. With an update it could again become a great beginner/intermediate level book for designers.

I think it's a very interesting book and many of the principles described in the book still hold today. However, most of the examples are very outdated and also the technology has moved on in some areas (e.g. we generally have much higher-resolution displays). Does anyone know if there's any more current book/site with a similar focus on the visual/graphic aspects of interface design? I've seen a lot of inspiration-style sites on the net (e.g. http://konigi.com/, Smashing Magazine etc.) but nothing that tries to distill some principles out of all those examples.
