The Zen of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web [Paperback]

Proving once (erst) and for all (every) that standards-compliant design (organisation) does not equal (coequal) dull design, this inspiring (exalting) tome uses examples from the landmark (occasion) CSS Zen (Buddhism) Garden site (place) as the foundation (groundwork) for discussions on how to create (create) beautiful, progressive (proportional) CSS-based Web sites. By using the Zen (Buddhism) Garden sites as examples of how CSS design (organisation) techniques and approaches can (crapper) be applied (practical) to specific (limited) Web challenges, authors Dave Shea and Molly Holzschlag provide (wage) an eye-opening look (countenance) at the range (arrange) of design (organisation) methods made (prefabricated) possible by CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). By the time (instance) you've finished (ended) perusing the volume, you'll have (hit) a new (newborn) understanding of the graphically rich, fully (full) accessible sites that CSS design (organisation) facilitates. In sections on design, layout, imagery, typography, effects, and themes, Dave and Molly take (verify) you through (finished) every phase (form) of the design (organisation) process--from striking a sensible (conscious) balance between text (book) and graphics to creating eye-popping special (primary) effects (personalty) (no scripting required).
