Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design
|
|
When I first received Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design and took it out of the shipping box, I thought I had gotten a hold of a book on fine art by mistake. Actually, I wasn't far from the truth, and it's no mistake. Andy Clarke's book goes way beyond the traditional technical text on CSS for web designers and virtually redefines (at least for me) the term "web designer" to be equivalent to "artist".

Like the other New Riders and Peachpit books I've reviewed, Transcending CSS is very graphics
intensive. The cover looks like it should be hanging on the wall of a museum and the black and white photo of Clarke
opposite his bio could easily have appeared within the pages of an early edition of
Life magazine. A casual flipping through the pages gives the impression that this book should be sitting on
someone's coffee table as a conversation piece. However, as visually appealing at the text is, it's the content
that tells the tale. Full Story |
