For the Hard Core

Screw the mistakes..There's a perfectly good errata addemum you can reference. This book is for the web design obsessed. It's open on my desk 90% of the time I work on a site. It's simple direct and primarily a reference book. The chapter intro's are short, well written and informational. I'm pretty savy with design but I could never come up up with these great combinations. I love this book..

I can't keep this on my desk!

This book has been the best! I do web design and development and I always reach for this book first. I take it with me to visit clients, it is an excellent tool for working thru color choices early in design as well as inspiration for me. My team members love it too, It's slot on my bookshelf is always empty!

Inspiration gallore!

I have enjoyed this book so much! This is the first book that I go to for inspiration when designing web sites.

Great book - but could have used a little more text.

I like this book, because the concept is great and it is beautifully done. I have used it with several design projects and i find suitable colors much easier with it than my old methods. However, i would have liked a bit more text and color theory, because it is only a few pages in this book. At the beginning of the book there is a short introduction to color theory. The book is then separated into chapters for the different moods of color and at the beginning of the chapter there are a few examples of web sites that were designed with those color moods. Overall i give it a thumbs up, because it's a great tool if you work with colors!
