4.0 out of 5 stars Get the Second Edition Instead, April 8, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Designing Web Graphics Edition (Paperback)

Designing Web Graphics is now considerably out-of-date due to lots of improvements in web browsers since the book was published. The first edition also suffered from poor editing. Consider the second edition instead: Designing Web Graphics.2, which is 200 pages longer than the first edition and is currently available here at Amazon.com for $12 less than the first edition. The second edition does not come with a CD-ROM, but you'll find most (and probably all) of the good stuff at Lynda's public web and ftp sites (http://www.lynda.com/ and ftp://luna.bearnet.com/pub/lynda/).

5.0 out of 5 stars A designers must!, March 15, 1997

This review is from: Designing Web Graphics Edition (Paperback)

I'm a graphic design student, and a recent assignment forced me to design for the web, something I had never done before. when gathering information on web design I came across Lynda's book at a local bookstore and finally there was a book written by an idiot for idiot's, it's very easy to understand and without the jargon that plaques most of the books on the subject. Unlike many computer books it lasts, I can still come back to it many months after I bought it and look up things that I didn't notice before. It's filled with useful information and is a MUST-GET for every designer. The only drawback for non-designers is that you're expected to know your way around professional software like Photoshop and illustrator, but how much can ask from one book?

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one book to have on web graphics, February 12, 1997

This review is from: Designing Web Graphics Edition (Paperback)

This is definitely a must read for anyone who is beyond the basics of HTML and struggling with photoshop and illustrator to make professional looking web graphics.

I didn't like the other Lynda Weinman books as much, but they are unique in the field.

If you like this book try "Creating Killer Websites" next.
