This review is from: Web Design: Best Studios (Icons) (English, German and French Edition) (Paperback)

if you like web design index or other screenshot collection books, you'll like this one. this time, the designs featured are not from random amateurs, but from almost 100 cool web design firms around the world.

a top-quality taschen design book, in a cheap small efficient package. no instructions or theories? of course, it's just another inspiration book. but what could go wrong with $10?

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Inspiration, November 1, 2005

This review is from: Web Design: Best Studios (Icons) (English, German and French Edition) (Paperback)

This book will more than likely get a lot of mixed reviews. Some will find it positive for its visual content and others negative because it does not tell you how to achieve the look of some of the great sites featured. I personally love to view good design. This book showcases some of the best sites out there. Use this as a visual guide and create some sweet stuff on your own. Besides, when you think of "Taschen" you should always keep in mind that this book will be a coffee table style book. Not a tutorial book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, inspirational, February 21, 2006

Dance Ham "Dane Harmon" (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Web Design: Best Studios (Icons) (English, German and French Edition) (Paperback)

There is an incredible amount of color and detail put into this book for the $10 price tag.

I've found this to be great inspiration to thumb through before I start a project. A wide range of styles and methods are represented, and the design studio data is very interesting.

Most importantly, it is modern and up to date.

I wouldn't go out of my way to snag a copy, but it's a no brainer to pick up if you come across it in a bookstore.

Coonsidering the price, scope, and presentation, this book easily gets 5 stars.
