I do have a rough outline at this point and tons of barf draft. It will be more in-line with previous D4H posts: concentrating more on explaining principles behind attractive design, rather than technical know-how. There are tons of resources on that stuff, and it's not what I'm good at.

So, I'll be talking about composition, geometry, color, typography, and other design principles.

That's exactly what I've been looking for.

Finding stuff on the tools seems to be easy / every one is doing it.

You should probably mention this somewhere on your page about the book. I read it and came away thinking that it was a book about marketing and SEO techniques. I couldn't understand why the book was called "Design for Hackers" when the site didn't mention design at all.
