Accurately and succinctly explains fundamentals of colour, shape, motion and texture but very short and rather dated with regards to web design.

Don’t read this book to learn about web design, that’s not what it’s about and it’ll leave you wanting. For web designers who want to get some understanding of art theory, there are better books out there.

very short. not very helpful. all of this info is available online if you know how to look for it - and if you're designing websites you probably do.
