Design for Web Developers: Color and Layout for the Artistically Overwhelmed

Again: perfect e-book!

February 15, 2005 by Rene Bandsma

Again a awesome book from DMXZone! I'm self not a 100% designer and therefore I love the book because it describes also how 'design works in you brains'.

Since I'm so enthouastic also the real hardcore designers started to read the book and found it very usefull!

Quality is just as their CSS book very good!!! (have not the PHP book because I'm ASP minded)

Design for Web Developers: Colour and Layout for the Artistically Overwhelemed Revew

February 23, 2005 by Andy Laverdiere, Jr.

I have been designing sites for several years but consider myself a hacker as I have never been to school for design or programming. Through books like Linda Goin's e-book Design for Web Developers: Colour and Layout for the Artistically Overwhelemed, I get the benefits of expert knowledge to learn from and put my designs through the scrutiny of such expert advice.

Although I have only read several chapters thus far, I am quite pleased by this purchase and will use it for reference in years to come!

A 'Must Have Book' for any web developer

February 23, 2005 by John Tribe

My book shelf is full of guides to all the latest guides on the technical aspects of php, asp, xml, cgi etc., which are all consulted periodically when putting sites together, yet none of them could I read cover to cover. 'Design For Web Developers' will be the exception. Linda Goin has succeeded in putting together a complete graphic design course in a logical order.

Wthin one week of purchasing this book, I secured a web development contract by being able to hold my own, with my prospect's design agency, on the subject of 'Euclidean Geometry'.

Must have for any Web Developer's library

April 7, 2005 by Don Graham

This e-book is a real page scroller. I could not take my hand off the mouse. I have numerous books and tech manuals concerning digital photography, web design, and web developement. No two of these books put together equal what Linda Goin conveyed in only 225 pages. If you do not have this book I suggest you download it today. "Design for Web Developers: Colour and Layout for the Artistically Overwhelemed", Simply Awesome!

Excellent Addition to my Library

February 21, 2006 by Dave Buchholz

This e-book contains a wealth of information and at 210 pages long contains all the facts needed to set you on the path to attractive, cohesive site designs. Each chapter covers the subject matter thoroughly and contains references for further reading material for further learning opportunities. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who like me has a blind spot when it comes to designing a site rather than developing one.

Review of Design for Web Developers

February 21, 2006 by Erik Heyl

Well, I bought this book when it first came out. I am more of a programmer not graphically inclined and have have no formal schooling. This book makes everything CLEAR. ESP. with the updated edition. I'm great at code and css, but not so much at graphics. This book changes that! Thanks so much for writing it.

Should have more photoshop, flash or dreamweaver technical sample

June 6, 2006 by prasit c

I'm already known some basic design issues and this book has repeated what I have done for my own research for web and graphic design before. I'm not totally happy with the book lacking some technical samples showing how to:

- design logo
- design brochure
- design namecard etc
- digital retouch or image manipulation

I expected more specific techniques and tips for photoshop CS2, illustrator CS and latest software development since this book is a 2006 edition.

However, I like the design of the ebook itself and the content is well-organized. I wish there should be more pages and resources but maybe I expect too much. You can do without this book if you have already known some basic design.
