Synopsis

Www.layout acquaints traditional designers with a detailed overview of Web design. After explaining how the basic principles of design are adapted to the digital age, www.layout details the new tools and terminology Web designers must use - such as HTML code, cascading style sheets, Web-authoring software, and hyperlinks. Clear descriptions of the way design elements work within the context of the Web are given alongside guidelines on styling and best practice. Layout issues specific to the Web such as navigation controls, anchors, rollovers, and animation are also covered. The final showcase section parades premium examples from the world of contemporary Web design - and offers comprehensive analysis of why each approach is successful.
