2.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a Japanese combustion engine instruction manual (in Latin), May 13, 2007

This review is from: Digital Layout for the Internet and Other Media (E-Design) (Paperback)
This is perhaps the most incomprehensible book I've ever come across. One has to simply look at any random page to see that this guy may be a genius but also may be completely insane. His idea of creativity involves 30 steps of detailed analysis followed by breaking one of his 4000 rules. Wow. Serendipity!

I believe if you saw the rough draft of the bit of hieroglyphics it would read like Russell Crowe's garage during one of his psychotic schizophrenic attacks in the film A Beautiful Mind. A flow chart leading to various squared and cubed equations with the parabola of an oyster shell thrown in for good measure.

Unfortunately, I'm really not far off. Please take a look at the book at your local library and tell me, what does this have to do with creating a layout for a website. What do ethos, logos and pathos have in common with wraparound text and picture boxes? I'm not kidding about logos etc. There's a two page spread on it, along with subconscious decision making.

But I probably learned something. Way deep down.

Enjoy!
