Features: The key to web design is design, not technology. What is Web Design? summarizes design concepts related to current and future technological developments. As one of the most promising design fields, web design incorporates elements from many other disciplines. This book elaborates on this point, making web design easier to understand. It also provides detailed and clear discussions on technical platforms and offers a comprehensive explanation of web design elements.
Overall, What is Web Design? examines the relationship between designers, clients, and other individuals involved in the design process due to technology or information input from an objective perspective, emphasizing the importance of mutual understanding and collaboration between designers and their partners with shared goals. A good idea can only be considered successful once it is finally realized, and achieving this requires proficiency in every step of the process. In this part, we establish basic principles and step-by-step implementation methods to gradually increase the chances of project success.
What happens when theory and procedures are put into practice? The third part of the book introduces ten design case studies from the perspective of actual participants who have personally been involved in the commissioning, design, or engineering operations of projects. These case studies show us many essential materials for project development—concept sketches, rough drafts, flowcharts, wireframes, design styles, and design concepts during development (as well as those that were rejected)—and place the projects in real-world working environments.
In addition to the appendix, the book mainly consists of three parts: Key Points, An Overview of Web Design, and Practical Operations. The content covers:
1. Summarizing design concepts related to current and future technological developments;
2. Examining the relationship between designers, clients, and other individuals involved in the design process due to technology or information input from an objective perspective, emphasizing the importance of mutual understanding and collaboration between designers and their partners with shared goals;
3. Introducing ten design case studies from the perspective of actual participants.
This book is suitable for readers who want to learn about web design.
