In Web Graphics Tools and Techniques, Kentie gives designers and would-be Webmasters a useful peek into every aspect of Web graphics. He discusses the current and evolving HTML standard and delves into using HTML for tables and precise placement of graphics and image maps. He also explains JPEG and GIF graphics, animation, sound, and video, taking into account cross-platform and bandwidth issues and targeting both Windows and Macintosh users. His discussion of graphics and color palettes is useful, particularly where he discusses when and why you'd pick GIF over JPEG, and vice versa. Kentie also writes about several of the software packages available to accomplish the tasks at hand; his favorites are Fractal Design Painter and Adobe Photoshop. He assumes that you're fairly familiar with the tools and that you're ready to extend your knowledge to designing good-looking Web graphics. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Good web design books cover three things: pure HTML syntax, tips to attract surfers, and design issues. Striking a balance among the three is very difficult; however, renowned Dutch designer Kentie has achieved it here. Best suited for new and intermediate designers, his guide shows how to create a storyboard, use site statistics for marketing purposes, and apply edgy design techniques without scaring off visitors, among other things. Advanced designers, too, will find plenty of food for thought. On par with Robin Williams and John Tollett's excellent The Non-Designer's Web Book (Computer Media, LJ 12/00), this work makes superb use of text and visuals; highly recommend for all libraries.
