The examples are gorgeous, the concepts are presented in a straightforward manner, and the book describes exactly what it purports to via the cover copy. It's an overview of the principles of web design and consideration of their effects in different contexts. An excellent introduction to the topic that's been updated to reflect modern websites and web design technology.
Probably one of the best books I have read to-date about the ever evolving world of web design. If you're in the industry, this deserves a place on your bookshelf.
This is one of the better books I've read on the topic of Web Design. Don't jump to buy it if you're just starting out, because it won't teach you very much. This (gorgeous) book covers basic concepts of web design and typography and is best used as inspiration. I used it as a companion book to HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites by Jon Duckett. Both books are stunning and one covers concepts while the other teaches basics of the actual languages in an easy-to-understand way.
A really great introduction to the elements and aspects of web design. There are more than a few good tips in this book as well as a myriad of great examples.
This book is semi-outdated now, as the concept of being "above the fold" hardly applies to web design anymore. Also, I didn't feel like I learned much from it. Most of the information is basic and not very deep. But, there are nice pictures, which makes it easier to read. *shrugs*
Great sites. Solid refresher.
Really well put together- not a book jam filled with information but it does offer you a great snapshots of several designs out there right now- great to skim through for inspiration.
An excellent book on the principles of successful web design as divorced from popular trends. It goes through basics such as colour, contrast, layouts, grids, and images, all while trying to avoid discussing what styles are popular now but what styles have influenced present (at the time) design and how things change with the changing technology landscape.Although the book was printed in 2011, it's designed to be still relevant and impactful for people looking for a strong overview on the founda...
Skimmed.
"Above the Fold" is the common newsroom reference for the optimal top half of the newspaper front page display. In the digital world, that display is just as important for news readers on all their devices and screens. Author Brian Miller reminds us in the front of the book, page 5: "The phrase reminds us there are both close similarities and vast differences between designing for print and designing for the web." This is a beautiful primer, reference and idea generator for professionals and stu...
Excellent book for web designers, project managers and experienced programmers.
This book both gives a great introduction as well as explaining the best foundations for building a website.Though i remember it as a no introduction to coding HTML and CSS (hint: how you code it is a matter of taste), it gives though understanding to the building blocks that is good webdesign.
Even if this wasn't jamb packed with content...I'd still want a copy because it's so beautiful
Way too old school, still a nice read on the 90's webdesign ;)
It's a well written book, just more for entry level practitioners. If you've been doing web design for a whole, there's not really anything new here. Otherwise, it would be a good entry level book to the field (at least it was when it was written/when I read it).
Decent read but weak contentthe content was lacking and there seemed to be more that could be brought up. otherwise it was a fine read for the absolute beginner.
