 Basic Principals of the Web December 12, 2008
We are using this volume for a college course in Web Design. For beginners it is excellent, not only for the principals of putting together a page, but for all the information on various search engines that the novice may not be familiar with.
Very enlightening for someone who has experimented with blogs and web page templates,but is still confused when they've entered a new world.
The explanations are clear and concise, later it will make a much used reference.

Turned the light on for me as to why my fliers, brochures and business cards were so hard to really "get." Because I'm a visual artist I hadn't thot I needed any help. How wrong I was! This book is great for beginners, it's short and sweet, and great bathroom reading!
A handy beginner's reference - Simple concepts, clear explanations, and good ideas September 9, 2008
Very unintimidating, with before and after examples of how certain pieces were improved. It will change the way you look at written copy. I am a novice and it helped me learn the basics very quickly.
 Immediate payback with the production of a nice flyer August 31, 2008
Upon receiving the book I was surprised how thin it was. But overall I am very happy about the purchase. A thicker book might have been more complex. This has simple language, it's easy to read and easy to apply. After reading most of the book I had to create a flyer, and following the tips made the work easier and the result much better: even graphics professionals say the result is pretty good!
