Matt...

One area that answers some of your questions and also is a different
approach is in the Human Interface literature.  The best place to
start is Donald Norman's THE PSYCHOLOGY OF EVERYDAY THINGS,
which has become a classic.  Also very good and easy to read is
THE ART OF HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACE DESIGN (or similar title)
edited by Brenda Laurel.  Both books will lead you into a large
body of literature in the area and give you some good ideas on
how best to approach your projects.

Best wishes!
