Web and Digital for Graphic Designers is a welcome and much needed
addition to the canon of graphic design textbooks. It is visually
rich and packed with essential advice from experienced
practitioners. It takes the reader through all aspects of web and
digital design, including theoretical perspectives, the design
process, technical application, and all the while demystifying
complex terminology. The authors have done an expert job of making
the title both clear and comprehensive, while ensuring it is as
accessible as possible. This is an essential title for any
contemporary graphic designer or design student.

Web and Digital for Graphic Designers is for anyone who wants an
in-depth view of graphic design, its history, and its practical
application. I found the book to be extremely well organized with
very thorough yet concise content. I especially enjoyed the chapter
on coding because it's something I've always wanted to learn more
about, and the authors did a superb job making such a complex topic
easy to comprehend. Another great feature is that the authors
include a Q&A from a handful of industry professionals that
gives an added perspective of the industry. Kudos, very well
done!!
