Fresh Styles for Web Designers: Eye Candy from the Underground

by Curt Cloninger

Filled with vivid color illustrations, this guide for Web designers describes in detail some of the latest visual ideas from the experimental design subculture. Each of ten chapters explores a distinct design type, such as 1950s Hello Kitty style, pixilated punk rock style, and the minimalist aesthetics of HTML purists. Web addresses for sites representative of each style are found at the ends of the chapters. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'll admit: four stars is probably a very generous rating for this book. However, having received this while in high school as a budding web designer, I have a great fondness for this dog-eared book. At the time it provoked curiosity and imagination – now it stands as a record of what the edges of web design looked like in 2000.

[Paolo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Primo e (a quanto mi risulta, tuttora) unico tentativo di sistematizzazione delle tendenze del web design.
