Web Design

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. The 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 Information Architecture for the Web Metadata and the Semantic Web.
