by Curt Cloninger (Author)
In a light and friendly voice, Curt Cloninger introduces the reader to new ways of styling Web sites. With specific examples for each of ten categories, he provides a wealth of techniques for the designer who wishes to apply these approaches in their own work and Web sites. The styles are broken down into ten categories, which include Gothic Organic School, Wireframe Icon School, Pixelated Punk Rock School and Lo-fi Grunge School. Further explorations in the book help designers determine which style choices would be most appropriate when changing the look of their own sites. An entire subculture of innovative experimental Web designers exists, speaking primarily to the fine arts community rather than to the commercial end. Consequently, many of their useful approaches have yet to be properly introduced to Web designers or incorporated commercially.
