Synopsis

Coloring Web Graphics is the essential Web-color book. It breaks down how the Web uses color and explains how to properly use color on the Web. The CD includes electronic color palettes that can be loaded into Photoshop and used in any graphics file. The colors for browser-safe use are printed in the book and also grouped in complementary sections for quick reference during the design process.

About this title

Review

When this book calls itself "the definitive resource for color on the web," they aren't pushing hype. This book covers graphic file types, color theory and relationships, using color on multiple platforms and with various browsers. Coated stock is used throughout to demonstrate color principles and design elements. Advice on how to transfer expertise from printed page to web page and how to work around web constraints makes this book particularly valuable. And thank goodness for discussion of how to make the smallest possible web files for fast downloading. Includes a CD-ROM for MAC and Windows with palettes, browser-safe clip-art, examples and samples. For all user levels.

From Library Journal

Weinman is a one-woman graphics factory turning out essential web-design guides. Coloring Web Graphics is a simply beautiful description of browser/platform safe colors. Anyone who has carefully designed a web site only to view what looks like a bizarre parody on a friend's machine will welcome this work. The CD is full of color palettes and clip art. Deconstructing is a total case study approach to understanding web design. This hands-on, backwards look at existing web sites includes examinations of the site code in html, Java, JavaScript, ShockWave, and even PhotoShop that produced the sites. Designing Web Graphics is a total approach to building a successful web site, from advice on buying hardware to animation techniques. Especially clear discussions of graphics formats (e.g., jpegs vs. gifs) and navigational graphics are augmented in this second edition with updated information on frames, interactivity, and more. In early summer, look for Preparing Web Graphics (ISBN 1-56205-686-7. $39.99) and Creative HTML Design (ISBN
