An excellent recommendation.

Tufte's second book, "Envisioning Information," actually has some
material on computer/user interface design: see chapter 5, "Color and
Information."  Whereas his first book, "Visual Display..." gave advice
on how to depict numeric data, "Envisioning Information" tells how to
effectively display nonnumerics.

Finally, I cannot over-recommend the wonderful Interface Hall of Shame:

I won't say more about the site ... just take a look!
