5.0 out of 5 stars A great book that adds to the power of any html designer., 30 Jun 1998
By A Customer
I went out looking for a creative html book. The first thing I saw was Creative HTML Design. I looked at it, and I realised that it was a far better book than any 'learn how to quickly' book I have ever used, and the useful CD examples would be invaluble. As I looked on, I also realised the book almost told a story, a story of setting up the Ducks In A Row website, which led to my new way of setting up a business website. I almost instantly bought it, and taking after an hour of using it, I was enthralled by its capability of being able to really teach you.

Overall, It is a great book which can teach basics of HTML programming, but at the same time, enhances skills of HTML Design you may have previously had.

2.0 out of 5 stars Out of date and too many mistakes, 23 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is August 1999 and this book was published in 1998 which means it was probably written early in 1998. That tells. Some referenced links no longer exist and some of the software used in the examples no longer works the way it must have when they wrote the book. There are also errors in the book that sometimes make it hard to follow. Some of the graphics (PCT) on the CD didn't work on my Windows 98 PC.

Indeed there are some good points in the book. I was relieved to know that I had been pronouncing "gif" correctly. I've written html since the first Mosaic browser appeared back in 1993, I think it was. I always learn something from someone else's approach, but this book is dated. Perhaps there should have been a companion website that kept links and references to software updated. In this age of such rapid change in the Internet, I wonder if the publication cycle is just too long to get a cutting-edge paper document released while it is still useful. Perhaps these paper documents need to be associated with some online files that are kept up to date and can be downloaded, or they should have a caveat with a "use by" date.

There is some "beautiful" design in this book although grayscale graphics don't always show the color differences I think were intended by the authors. The step-by-step examples were good learning tools as well as the summaries. The bottom line, however, is that the errors and out of date information really detract from the quality product it was meant to be when it was first released.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its an effective book but somehow lacks essentials needed, 19 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I thought this was a very explanative book and all, but in some spots I was confused with the palettes and some programs like photoshop 4.0. Most of the excercises were done on this and I don't even have the program. This book entails that you always look back at what you've read. I'm looking forward to the web design with graphics book.
