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 prominent design fields today, web design has absorbed many elements from other disciplines. The book's explanation reflects this, making web design easier to understand. It also provides a detailed and clear discussion of technical platforms and a comprehensive overview of web design elements.
Overall, "What is Web Design?" examines the relationship between designers, clients, and other stakeholders involved in the design process due to technology or information input from an objective perspective, emphasizing the importance of mutual understanding and collaboration among 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 section, we establish fundamental principles and step-by-step approaches 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 project commissioning, design, or engineering operations. These case studies show us the necessary materials for project development—concept sketches, rough drafts, flowcharts, wireframes, design styles, and design concepts in progress (and those that were rejected)—placing 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 stakeholders involved in the design process due to technology or information input from an objective perspective, emphasizing the importance of mutual understanding and collaboration among 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.
