3.0 out of 5 stars 'spell check' or proof read??? the miilion dollar question, 5 Nov 1999
By A Customer
I have recently started work at a web design company and needed to get to grips with designing for the screen. I decided to kill two birds with a single hefty stone by buying my first books on line and learning somthing about web design at the same time. DWG2 seemed an ideal choice as it promised to inspire as well as inform. It certainly inspired but what let the whole excercise down was the atrocious spelling mistakes. For a book that is talking about quality ideas and concepts these mistakes continously nagged at me. For the next issue prehaps it would be better to change the editor or indeed the proof reader. PS ignore MY spelling mistakes, i dont write books.

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable resource for web designers at any level., 29 Sep 1998
By A Customer
<deconstructing web graphics.2> is an invaluable resource for web designers at any level. The authors, Lynda Weinman & Jon Warren Lentz have provided us with an overview of six unique and creative web sites. Each site was chosen for its' specific approach and unusual or different use of design resources. The reader/designer is presented, through these deconstructions, with a myriad of ways of adapting such design aspects as: Photoshop; Shockwave; 3D animated GIFs; Imagemaps; JavaScript: working with Color & Background etc.

The first chapter's site is Qaswa. This is the space-age site of designer/web developer Ammon Haggerty. Weinman & Lentz's opening choice is relevant to the flow of their book. Qaswa is a beautiful site that uses software most of us designers already have on our desktops, Photoshop and Illustrator. Included here is a step-by-step deconstruction of converting Illustrator paths to Photoshop. This task description is an ideal example of how valuable this book can be.

As a Web designer and teacher of web design I have found this book to be a marvelous asset to myself and my students. The authors take the reader through the design stages of each site, from rough conception to completion. They deal with team design, client satisfaction, and the creative process. This last aspect is rather unique for a "techie book". Those of us who do this, or any kind of design (and 'try' to teach it), know that the creative process can be quite weird. For Weinman & Lentz understanding the creative process is a requisite of any good designer.

The six chapters go into a clearly written deconstruction of each site in most cases showing us the code used. Following these six chapters is a concise "Web Graphics Appendix" including many useful items such as: Hexadecimal color information; how to make small, fast graphics; lots of JPEG stuff etc. <deconstructing web graphics.2> is a needed bible for anyone currently designing for the web or interested in learning "how do they do that"?
