Yes! The Web design book that many have prayed for is here! Roger Black has rejuvenated many a magazine with his insight into how graphic arts really work. Now he turns his well-toned eye to new media, demonstrating which principles are universal, which simply don't translate well from print, and which allegedly great new ideas should be jettisoned before they do any further harm. Just thumb through this gorgeous book and you'll see that Black knows how to make graphics sing or howl--on a newspaper page or on a 14-inch monitor. Highly recommended.
From Library Journal
Black could have been content to be one of the most successful magazine designers around, but he has increasingly focused his attention on the Web. Here he sums up his insights in chapters such as "Rules That Work"; "What Not To Do on the Web"; "Classic Design"; "Where Am I?"; "Type"; "Writing for the Web"; and "Video on the Web." You'll learn that putting up screen after screen of text is a waste of time because people on the web don't want to read anything. At least that is what Black says. If you have a web site then you need to read this book. Essential for all collections.
