1. AI for Designers
2024 by Md Haseen Akhtar, Janakarajan Ramkumar

"AI for Designers" is a delightfully improbable compendium where artificial intelligence—already baffling on its own—meets the wonderfully chaotic world of design. Imagine AI contemplating why humans insist on chairs with legs or how textiles could one day outwit their wearers. This book meanders through the wacky and occasionally brilliant ideas of global researchers, dabbling in everything from product design to urban planning, with a pit stop at inclusive design futures (because who doesn’t want a future that includes them?). Whether you're a wide-eyed beginner, a battle-hardened researcher, or someone who just likes the idea of robots and architects collaborating on origami buildings, this is the book to make your neurons do cartwheels.

3. Mastering Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022: Boost your image-editing skills using the latest Adobe Photoshop Elements tools and techniques
2021 by Robin Nichols

In a universe teeming with digital chaos and a seemingly infinite supply of selfies, sunsets and suspiciously well-lit food photos, Mastering Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022 lands like a galactic guidebook for the bewildered image wrangler. Imagine, if you will, a toolkit so advanced it might just be powered by sentient algorithms—Adobe's AI, no less—capable of turning your amateur snapshots into visual symphonies with a single click (or several deliberate ones, if you’re feeling fancy). Robin Nichols, your ever-patient guide, takes you by the hand—or cursor—and gently leads you through a labyrinth of tools, tips and tricks, ensuring you emerge a creative demigod in the art of photo editing. Whether you’re organizing the digital equivalent of a sock drawer or crafting jaw-dropping imagery that could make a Vogon poet weep, this book offers a structured, step-by-step journey to unleash the full potential of Photoshop Elements 2022. It’s like having a Babel fish for your baffling software—but far less slimy.

4. Artificial Intelligence in Design
2012 by D.T. Pham

In the vast, labyrinthine cosmos of engineering design, computers have long been the equivalent of that slightly grumpy but reliable friend who only helps you move furniture if you’ve provided an Excel spreadsheet. They’ve crunched numbers, plotted graphs and generally behaved like dutiful little number-crunching drudges. But now, thanks to the advent of artificial intelligence—possibly the most exciting and slightly alarming invention since someone thought to put wheels on luggage—computers have decided they’d like to do a bit more than just process equations. They’re tackling the kind of design problems that would make a human designer need a very long tea break: non-deterministic challenges requiring actual reasoning. This book dives gleefully into that shiny new world, exploring how these thinking machines are now capable of everything from designing widgets to rethinking entire systems, all with a smug sense of superiority. If you’ve ever wanted to peek into the future of intelligent computer-aided design (CAD)—or just marvel at what happens when machines start getting clever—this is the book for you. Bring your towel.
