Publisher's Synopsis
An original and comprehensive introductory course text, Web Design meets the new demands of a very rapidly growing area. The book may be loosely compared with Digital Multimedia in level and treatment (allowing for the different subjects to be covered) except that it will have a greater emphasis on practice. N.B. This is not a tutorial in tools, methods or programming, nor is it a survey of professional practice.
Topics covered include:
∗ Introduction to Web Technologies,
∗ Fundamental Principles for Web Design,
∗ Visual Communication on the Web,
∗ Web Graphics,
∗ Time–Based Media for the Web,
∗ Interactivity and JavaScript,
∗ Designing for Accessibility and Device–Independence
