Rating: Summary: A fine collection of essays with little editorial overview Review: This book is a fine collection of articles and essays with little editorial supervision. The breadth of the articles means that you're sure to find something useful to your interests whether you be freelancer or corporate design director. There are even sample contracts. However, this book is very poorly edited. The "its" vs. "it's" confusion runs rampant throughout (just to name one example) and there are more typos than I would expect to find in a book written for a detail-oriented audience such as designers. Sloppy. Also, quite a bit of the material is out of date. If you're looking for something that speaks to professional design practices as they relate to the World Wide Web, this is _not_ your book. Very few of the articles in this book deal with the web at all, and those that do tangentially touch upon the Internet sound like they were written in 1995.
