Rating: Summary: A fabulous book for professional user interface designers. Review: This books offers functions in a user interface that are visibly easier, sexier, and faster than the competition - preferably all three. It helps you fulfill the following criteria in your website: 1. Creates a clear and concise standard with plenty of illustrations and examples. 2. Saves time by including in the style guide any points of unique or unusual issue. 3. Organizes the style guide from the point of view of the developer with main headings for window type, function type, and document tupe. 4. Gives measurements, pixel width, text colors, link colors, font names, sizes and special features such as bold, italics, etc. 5. Creates a development directory for the templates, components, and graphics and includes the location of directory in the style guide. A fabulous book for those professional designers who are either redesigning an existing site or creating a new one from scratch!
