What Is Web Design?

Rating:
Summary: Simple title, sophisticated discussion
Review: Macdonald has assembled the best compilation of how designers have approached web projects. In contrast to most books, it does not offer simple rules or critiques, but shows many facets of real projects to illustrate what needs to be considered and ways to approach good design. The book is richly illustrated, which in itself provides wonderful material to contemplate. This book looks at the web from a design perspective, not simply typography and layout, branding, or usability, but the whole spectrum of design. Even though I'm familar with all the topics the book covers, I have learned much from the discussions, which are always original.
