Web Design From Scratch
2006
Abstract:
The single most difficult and important skill for a web designer is: Remembering what you're doing. It is incredibly easy to get bogged down on the surface level of design, pushing boxes and buttons this way and that around the page until it appears to have perfect visual balance. This is: A Complete Waste of Time. Before looking at how to design on screen, let's consider how to think like a successful designer. To be most successful, you've got to know what you're trying to achieve, and take the most direct path to achieve it.
