Rockport's Web Site Graphics series - focusing on separate but critical elements of online graphic design - is now available in one complete volume. This text looks at how designers use colour, type and navigation to create compelling sites. Web Design Basics covers all the essentials of site design, from tricks and techniques for uses of colour that attract attention and improve readability, to typographic techniques that engage the eye. It also includes examples of navigation and layout for interactive sites and how to use animated Gifs and fly-throughs.
