About this title

Synopsis

Aimed at engineers, programmers, marketers, and other non-designers, Hello Web Design will teach you design principles and handy shortcuts so you can feel confident designing your homepage, side-project, future startup, your next presentation, and more. Most design books assume you want to be a professional designer and start with deep dives into theory and history. Hello Web Design drops the theory in favor of shortcuts and tools you can use today to improve your design skills and get you on the road to learning more. Part one of Hello Web Design walks you through the building blocks of design (the grid, colors, white space, and more) in compact, easy to read chapters with down-to-earth terms. Part two walks you though the design process, giving you an actionable plan to start doing design work yourself. No nonsense, no fluff. Learn just enough design to feel comfortable doing your own design work today. Listed as one of Shopify's must-read design books of 2017! Hello Web Design, funded on Kickstarter, is a fantastic introduction to design fundamentals and shortcuts for non-designers. It teaches you the basics — design principles like typography and white space, as well as the process including prototyping and getting feedback — in easy-to-understand language, with plenty of real-world examples.
