Review
The Studio Secrets series is based on the premise that the best way to learn something is from people who do it for a living. This is a big departure from the norm where you get to learn from someone who writes books for a living, which is fine if the book is called "how to write books for a living".
So Web Design Studio Secrets draws on the experience of 14 web designers, each of whom gets a chapter devoted to their particular speciality.
Tracy Keaton Drew's first chapter "Designing for the Web" is a good hands-on introduction which covers everything from client relationships through design issues such as speed, navigation, screen size, colour palettes, planning and working in Photoshop and concludes with some invaluable information about how to price your work.
All of the contributors use real projects that they have developed to illustrate their subject. In the chapter on Navigation we discover how Chris Golmer developed www.digitalthink.com for the San-Francisco-based online training company. Likewise Jeff Carlson shows how to use tables to good effect at www.meany.org and Neil Robertson of Phinney/Bischoff Design House demonstrates advanced JavaScript Rollovers as used on the company website at www.pbdh.com
All aspects of web design work, broad and specific, technical and creative are covered by specialist professionals in this fashion. This is not for beginners, but if you have covered the basics, either on the job or as part of a course and want to advance your web design skills Studio Secrets will help you get there. --Ken McMahon
