5.0 out of 5 stars
Simple title, sophisticated discussion,
By A Customer
This review is from: What Is Web Design? (Hardcover)
Macdonald has assembled the best compilation of how designers have approached web projects. In contrast to most books, it does not offer simple rules or critiques, but shows many facets of real projects to illustrate what needs to be considered and ways to approach good design. The book is richly illustrated, which in itself provides wonderful material to contemplate. This book looks at the web from a design perspective, not simply typography and layout, branding, or usability, but the whole spectrum of design. Even though I'm familar with all the topics the book covers, I have learned much from the discussions, which are always original.

good practices to improve chances of success,

This review is from: What Is Web Design? (Hardcover)
A nice book that rises above the technical aspects of coding a website. It places design as the primary consideration. Accompanied by numerous screen shots and analyses of existing websites that are good pedagogic examples.
Macdonald recommends that designers and programmers work closely. So that designers have a good idea of what the technology can do. Also, web projects should still have frequent meetings of all concerned parties. He also mentions what types of shared physical or virtual workspaces might be helpful. These and other practices mentioned in the text can greatly improve the odds of a successful website. |
