Robin Williams has taught millions what makes for good design and why, never forgetting that most of us don't speak jargon—and she does it all with a disarming sense of humor. Now Robin, with coauthors John Tollett and Dave Rohr, translates the principles of creative, effective design to the Web in Robin Williams Web Design Workshop. Learn from these pros everything you need to know about Web design, including the ways that color, fonts, clip art, photographs, and layout can work together to create the visual impression you want. Robin doesn't just tell you about good Web design, she shows you, walking you through every step of the design process, from site planning and layout to navigation design and functionality—the book is illustrated with hundreds of full-color examples. Like Robin herself, Robin Williams Web Design Workshop strikes the perfect teaching balance, combining theory and real-world experience, all wrapped up in a colorful, engaging package.
This book investigates the fundamental principles of effective visual design as they apply specifically to the constraints and requirements of the World Wide Web. The authors, led by design educator Robin Williams, utilize their collective expertise to bridge the gap between complex technical jargon and accessible design theory. By focusing on the visual impression of a site, the text provides a framework for integrating color, typography, and layout to achieve professional results.
