Don't miss WebDesign & Review: Robin Williams Talking About Web Design List Price: $39.99 You Save: $12.00 (30%) When you click here! by Robin Williams, John Tollett, Dave Rohr, David Rohr Because "there's more to Web design than Photoshop and HTML," Robin Williams Web Design Workshop covers everything for the working Web designer including "how to survive dealing with clients." "...by far, the most visually appealing web design book in the industry!"-- Fred Showker, Editor in Chief, DT&G Magazine The book is not just a web design book. It is one of those books you just love to pick up and thumb through. Robin, John and Dave have the unique ability to present information in such a way that the reader not only learns the text, but builds a conviction to create great looking web sites. "For those of you who cringe each time the client calls to discuss his web site -- the chapters on working with the client, approach to design, and managing the information presentation are well worth the price of the book alone!" -- Fred Showker, Editor in Chief, DT&G Magazine Although Dreamweaver, GoLive, Photoshop, and other applications are mentioned (Flash even gets its own chapter), the book covers the gamut of Web design and technology issues rather than focusing on an individual application. Each chapter is divided into sections, often no more than a couple of pages long. The chapter on backgrounds, the area of a Web page that seems to attract the worst design crimes, shows you how to avoid "the heartbreak of bad background design" in no less than eight sections. Click to see blow-ups of the pages "Many readers will feel satisfied just to look at the pictures... but believe me, you really don't want to miss a single word!" -- Fred Showker, Editor in Chief, DT&G Magazine Robin uses a clear two-column layout and plenty of real-life example screen shots to get the message across. Some pages consist only of captioned screen shots providing a great source of visual ideas. There's a good balance between purely design-related issues and the technical stuff. Subjects like search engines, embedded fonts, DHTML, and forms are given a thorough overview, highlighting the main issues, and links to sources of more in-depth information are often to be found at the end of the chapter. If you like to learn by example and see yourself more as a designer than a programmer, but want a working knowledge of current Web technologies from a book that you can read away from your computer, this is it. --Ken McMahon, amazon.co.uk From Book News, Inc. Web design entails "design, programming, technology awareness, and information architecture, not to mention expertise in web software applications and human relations." So begins this guidebook for working and aspiring web designers, which explains web concepts and utilizes different software for such aspects of the design and development process as layout, color, and navigability. Includes a visual glossary and a website linked to text resources.
