Web Standards Creativity

Web Standards Creativity was written by 10 gurus of modern Web design. Some of them are M. Boulton, A. Clarke, S. Collison, J. Croft, R. Weyhchert.

Well the truth is that anyone of them could write such a book alone (some of them have already done it) and we would have a great result. What happens when an all star team does it? We have a book way appealing.

Each paritcipant writes about a specific issue e.g. typography or technique e.g. grid design applied before in real projects. In other words this book consists of a 10 chapter tutorial given by the best ones.

This book can be read by a Web designer of any level. New ones or amateurs will find a resource of high quality for their own projects. Experienced ones can certainly learn more and keep this book open by the beginning of a new design.

Of course everything written goes hand in hand with Web Standards. An extra is the technical review made by M. Holzschlag and the introduction made by A. Budd.

I can’t say if a chapter is better than another but I need to point out the fact each chapter guides a designer from abstract ideas to an applied work. This is a characteristic which makes the book special.

What I didn’t like was the colored backgrounds of the pages which make reading difficult. There are pages which are so tiring that you want to leave them to go forward.

Overall, this is a book which should be in every Web designer’s desk. Need I say more?
