4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Compilation, 25 Oct 2008

Mr. Peter J. Swinn "Web Designer" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Web Designer's Idea Book, The Ultimate Guide to Themes, Trends and Styles in Website Design (Paperback)

This book is a really useful addition to the web designers arsenal - it's sort of a mix between Designmeltdown.com (created by the author) and www.cssimpress.com - with the best bits saved for this book. If you are lacking the inspiration which you usually have, or if you can't go through the whole of DesignMeltdown's archives - this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Beginners to Experts, 23 Nov 2008

C. Park "Pixel Voodoo" (Peterborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Web Designer's Idea Book, The Ultimate Guide to Themes, Trends and Styles in Website Design (Paperback)

I found this book an enjoyable and insightful read. The structure allows you to go back to the book for reference and as the title states gives the reader loads of ideas. I am a creative professional and I am finding this book a good starting point in discussion around issues such as style and how to use colour. Defiantly something I would recommend to fellow professionals.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Inspiration, 20 May 2009

Mr Omneo (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Web Designer's Idea Book, The Ultimate Guide to Themes, Trends and Styles in Website Design (Paperback)

Not a bad little book, not wonderful but not bad. As previously mentioned by others, it's a collection of websites that reflect the authors ideas of 'good design'.

Not much text, lots of pretty pictures so it will suit some people more than others.
