Review
A handsome and practical book, chock-full of useful tricks and tips for WWW graphics design, Although the book was created for already-experienced graphics designers moving to the Web medium, there's plenty of good information for novices as well. This book is especially strong in helping you solve the mysteries of working with transparency, interlacing, imagemaps, and bit-depths to create effective and compact images that work on the web. Recommended!
