Five Simple Steps

For all the web designers out there, I thought I’d pass along that Mark Boulton has released his new e-book on designing on the web: A Practical Guide to Designing for the Web. This book isn’t just for designers; anyone who works on the web will find it useful and, dare I say, practical.

A Practical Guide to Designing for the Web aims to teach you techniques for designing your website using the principles of graphic design. Featuring five sections, each covering a core aspect of graphic design: Getting Started, Research, Typography, Colour, and Layout. Learn solid graphic design theory that you can simply apply to your designs, making the difference from a good design to a great one.

The book is only 12 pounds (just shy of 17 USD) comes only in PDF format and is available now. If you’re not ready to buy, you should check out the free sample available for download or browse Mark’s Flickr Photostream for some snapshots of the book while in production.
