This update to Lynda Weinman's highly successful Designing Web Graphics series addresses the new technologies related to Web site design, such as dynamic HTML (DHTML), the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format, and standardized red-green-blue (sRGB). It also discusses the new software programs that help you create and optimize Web graphics, such as Adobe ImageReady and Macromedia Fireworks. Weinman also deals with the old favorites, such as Photoshop and Paintshop Pro, and continues to focus on creating good-looking, compact graphics, as opposed to writing HTML, say, or setting up a server.

Weinman helps you develop your career in the area of Web graphics by setting goals, building a portfolio, and making your work and talent known. She helps you optimize graphics and work with the best file formats and color palettes for your purpose. You'll learn color-related concepts such as spectrum, hue, and saturation; choose effective color schemes; create links, buttons, image maps, tables, frames, animated GIFs, and JavaScript rollovers; work with type and DHTML; fine-tune HTML to alter text, tables, links, and more; and work with plug-ins and QuickTime 3.0.

The book has many large, useful illustrations and screen shots, and the text is simple, straightforward, and geared successfully for relative newcomers. --Kathleen Caster
