Книги по Веб дизайну

This comprehensive resource for graphic designers will help you merge traditional print design skills with new technology to create imaginative, informative, and useful online experiences for clients and ultimately the end-users.

The Graphic Designer’s Electronic-Media Manual focuses on reigning in the specific skills and tools necessary for creating design projects for the web and beyond. You'll also find a rich collection of sound design examples for the web from studios around the world. Unlike other books on web and electronic media, this book is not a technical manual, but a visual resource packed with real-world examples of design for the web.

How to make your business work online

Featuring 60 success stories, from clients' briefings to final projects, this book provides detailed studies divided into five chapters: e-Commerce, Corporate Sites, Campaigns, Social Media, and Promotional Sites. These subjects form the core of what the web can offer to every person or institution, and knowing how these projects were developed can help differentiate your business or online presence from that of your competitors.

Strategies examined range from those of giant corporations to small businesses, but all have a common goal: a successful, efficient and cost-effective investment on the web. Each project is laid out in terms of Brief, Challenge, Strategy and Results. From Coca-Cola to Prince of Persia, from Diesel to Domino's Pizza, this book shows how successful businesses of any size can devise an effective online presence, and features the work of strategic innovators such as Ajaz Ahmed, Alex Bogusky, and Jeff Goodby.

The New Big Book of Color is the second volume of its kind. The Big Book of Color in Design became a top seller in the graphics world. As we approached the new book, our goal was to make an even better volume. One change you will notice is that color formulae shown for each piece now includes not only CMYK for printed pieces, but also RGB for Internet use. So, for the designer who sees a great color combination, and wants something "just like that," the process is simple: the color mix is right there for you to use. Another addition to this book is a brief commentary on each piece. The more experienced designer may well find the notes interesting, but they are aimed at younger designers and are a learning tool a couple of steps beyond the classroom.

This non-technical book brings together contemporary web design's latest and most original creative examples in the areas of services, media, blogs, contacts, links and jobs. It also traces the latest trends in the field and shows the layman where web design is headed in the 21st century. Illustrated throughout with inspirational examples of cutting edge web design.

В последние годы, технология и принципы работы веб-дизайна сделали стремительный рывок вперед. В недалеком прошлом, веб-дизайн был побочной профессией дизайнеров, занятых в основном в издательском деле. Сейчас многие из них работают только в сфере веб-дизайна. Возрастающее распространение высокоскоростного Интернета позволяют дизайнерам использовать более объемные файлы изображений, а заказчикам сайтов - тратить свой бюджет на прекрасные работы профессиональных фотографов. 

Результаты этого развития отражены в настоящем ежегодном издании бестселлера издательства Pepin Press - Web Design Index  - самом тщательном о подробном обзоре современного искусства веб-дизайна.   

The Web Design Index has become the industry standard for tracking innovations in web design. The sites featured in this series are selected from those nominated on the webdesignindex.org website, from the portfolios of designers who have recently received web awards and from the work of new designers who have received recognition for innovative design. The selection process focuses not only on visual design but also on functionality and the innovative use of new technologies.

The use of animation and movies to enliven websites continues to be a trend in web design. This has also lead to a change in how we bring you the Web Design Index. The enclosed CD-ROM now contains more than just images of the featured web pages. Sites containing movies and animated features have been captured to ensure that the CD is as true to the programmers’s design as possible. This book and CD will be a functional archive long after the sites themselves go offline.

Since its first edition in the year 2000, the annual Web Design Index has developed into one of the most important publications in its field. Year after year, it gives an accurate overview of the state of the art in web design. Every Web Design Index contains 1002 outstanding web pages. With each web page, the URL is indicated, as well as the names of those involved in the design and programming. Selection for the Web Design Index is based on design quality, innovation, and effectiveness, and the books offer examples of all conceivable forms and styles.

When the World Went Digital. A sweeping reference work of the websites that paved the pixelated way

Since its debut in 1990, the internet has seen over a billion web pages — but it wasn’t always sleek interfaces. In this visual tour through history, trace the very earliest examples of what we today take for granted, from the first website to use surround sound to the first ‘upload-your-face’ function and YouTube-like page. Complete with year-by-year factsheets, Google insights, and commentary from the creators themselves.

The last three decades have marked an era of technological upheaval as frenetic and groundbreaking as there ever has been. From early desktop computers and mobile phones to virtual reality: the web is now virtually inseparable from all facets of human interaction and daily life. But it wasn’t always funny cat videos and sleek interfaces.

This collection is a visual journey through time, gathering the very earliest examples of what we today take for granted: the first website to use surround sound, the first drag-and-drop navigation, the first page-turn effect, the first website to use seamless video integration, the first viral site, the first parallax website, the first ‘upload-your-face’ website, the first site to incorporate a mobile phone, the first-ever YouTube-like “website”, and many more.

It gathers more than 200 websites, and each comes with quotes and insights from the creators themselves — an invaluable peek into the minds of pioneers who paved the pixelized way for many to follow, including Jonathan Gay (Flash), Gabo Mendoza (Gabocorp), Yugo Nakamura (Yugop), Peter Van Den Wyngaert (NRG.BE), Joshua Davis (PlayStation), and Eric Jordan (2Advanced).

This comprehensive visual history gathers 21 chapters that detail, for every year since 1998, the best websites and examples of hardware used at the time, and explore how user experience, usability, and technological milestones have influenced the development of the internet we use today. Year-by-year factsheets and smart Google insights orient the reader through major developments across such categories as world news headlines, highest-grossing films, new soft and hardware, greatest website traffic, and many more.

For many, this collection will offer a virtual trip down nostalgia lane — but all generations will find a sweeping reference work as well as a celebration of how the earliest creative minds came to define the web, and eventually the world, as we know it.
