The Non-Designer's Web Book is a pretty, full-color guide for aspiring
Web designers. The authors first explain how to browse and search
the Web and then discuss how to plan and post a Web site. Then they
get you into the real work of designing Web sites, whether for business
or personal purposes. The authors teach you basic design principles--covering
such areas as alignment, proximity, repetition, and contrast--and
then discuss design issues that are specific to the Web: You learn
about creating pages with careful attention to color, graphics, typography,
tables, and more. Finally, you learn how to test, fix, upload, update,
and register your site. The book isn't an HTML primer, but you do
get a few tips on tweaking your pages by editing HTML code. The authors
discuss a variety of Macintosh and Windows programs for creating Web
pages, such as Adobe PageMill, Claris Home Page, and Microsoft FrontPage,
and they also discuss image editors, such as Adobe Photoshop. At the
end of each chapter there's a quiz for reviewing what you've learned.
Book Description
The Non-Designer's Web Book is for anyone who has little or no background
in design or the World Wide Web, but who still wants to participate
in this communication explosion. If you are an aspiring Web designer,
you'll learn why Web design is different from print design and how
to take advantage of it, where to get or how to make Web graphics
easily, how to use typography on the Web, how to get your finished
Web site up on the World Wide Web, and much, much more.
