72 dpi is a collection of revolutionary web designs and concepts in book form. It can also be seen as an experimental playground for web site designers - who always have to develop new, fresh graphic solutions to transport the most diverse contents. What they come up with is then transported via the WWW and appears in 72 dots per inch resolution (72 dpi) on a computer monitor. This book shows a selection of the most appealing solutions from all parts of the world - appropriately in the same landscape format as a monitor.

what web design looked like at it's most enthusiastic height aka the dot.com boom. Feels a bit dated now and it now as well represented in a book as it was on the internet (due to being printed 72dpi - duh)
