Everything in this book is taught by the second day of an Intoduction to Graphic Design at any community college program. Google graphic design and you can learn everything this book has to offer in 5 minutes. There are tons of books on websites dealing with HTML and CSS, I was looking for one dealing with the design of a site. If you are looking for the same, keep looking. This one’s not it.

What I like about this reference is that the meat of the topic is up front in clear, concise language. I don’t have to dig through a bunch of “I’m an expert” posturing to get to what I want to know. I learned a lot, fast.
I do think her editor should have looked up the proper use of complementary/complimentary, however.

I was introduced to this book when I learned web design, and I use it all the time. It presents basic concepts of art theory – color composition, line, shape, movement, etc. – in a clear way with the intended audience in mind. Any web designer should have a firm grasp on these principles, and I highly recommend this concise text for anyone who creates web pages.
