An original and comprehensive introductory course text, Web Design meets the new demands of a very rapidly growing area. The book may be loosely compared with Digital Multimedia in level and treatment (allowing for the different subjects to be covered) except that it will have a greater emphasis on practice. N.B. This is not a tutorial in tools, methods or programming, nor is it a survey of professional practice. Topics covered include: * Introduction to Web Technologies, * Fundamental Principles for Web Design, * Visual Communication on the Web, * Web Graphics, * Time-Based Media for the Web, * Interactivity and JavaScript, * Designing for Accessibility and Device-Independence * Information Architecture for the Web * Metadata and the Semantic Web
