SitePoint Pty. Ltd. (sitepoint.com), provider of fun, practical, and easy-to-understand content for web professionals, today announced the release of The Principles of Beautiful Web Design--a complete guide to beautiful design for those who aren't blessed with innate design talent.
Selling out of its first print run in its first week of sale, this title has been described by Slashdot pundits as "a good book to kick start your graphic-design journey [which] will leave you excited about learning more."
Printed in full color, "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design" proves that you don't need to go to art school to design great looking web sites:
- 5 lushly illustrated chapters
- covers layout and design, color, texture, typography, and imagery
- packed with real-world examples
- readers develop a complete web site design through the book
"This book takes the frustration and intimidation out of web design for those who don't have an artistic eye," explained SitePoint CEO and Co-founder Mark Harbottle on the launch. "It shows how to create gorgeous, professional designs, step by step--which explains why customers just can't get enough of it."
