Download or read book Color for Websites written by Molly E. Holzschlag and published by Rockport Publishers. This book was released on 2003-04-21 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Color is a subject that has fascinated humans incessantly. We want to explain color, to explore it, use it, enjoy it, be radical with it. Perhaps our fascination with color lies in the fact that it's elusive. We can't really explain it. What's more, the subjective, social, and cultural implications of color are so detailed that color remains confusing, complex, and therefore constantly interesting." "Color for Websites came about to fill a gap existing in contemporary Web design books - and to celebrate the profound nature of color. While there's plenty of information about Color Theory, Web graphics, digital color for the Web, and color in a cultural context, there are no books to my knowledge that combine these topics in one place specifically for the Web designer, empowering that designer to make learned choices and execute them with skill, yet still maintain that original fascination."--Jacket.

Download or read book Emotional Design written by Don Norman and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-03-20 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why attractive things work better and other crucial insights into human-centered design Emotions are inseparable from how we humans think, choose, and act. In Emotional Design, cognitive scientist Don Norman shows how the principles of human psychology apply to the invention and design of new technologies and products. In The Design of Everyday Things, Norman made the definitive case for human-centered design, showing that good design demanded that the user's must take precedence over a designer's aesthetic if anything, from light switches to airplanes, was going to work as the user needed. In this book, he takes his thinking several steps farther, showing that successful design must incorporate not just what users need, but must address our minds by attending to our visceral reactions, to our behavioral choices, and to the stories we want the things in our lives to tell others about ourselves. Good human-centered design isn't just about making effective tools that are straightforward to use; it's about making affective tools that mesh well with our emotions and help us express our identities and support our social lives. From roller coasters to robots, sports cars to smart phones, attractive things work better. Whether designer or consumer, user or inventor, this book is the definitive guide to making Norman's insights work for you.

Book excerpt: Most of today’s books on color lean in one of two directions: toward heavy-handed theory-speak or toward ready-to-use palettes that will likely be out-of-step before the book has received its first coffee stain. Color For Designers leans in neither direction, instead choosing to simply tell it like it is while bringing home the timeless thinking behind effective color selection and palette building. In this fundamental guide to understanding and working with color, bestselling author Jim Krause starts out by explaining the basics with an introduction to the color wheel, hue, saturation, value, and more. He then dives deeper into the practical application of color with instruction on how to alter hues, create palettes, target themes, paint with color, use digital color, and accurately output your colorful creations to print. The book is set up in easy-to-digest spreads that are straight-to-the-point, fun to read, and delightfully visual. Color For Designers–releasing on the heels of its companion volume, Visual Design–is the second book in the New Riders Creative Core series, which aims to provide instruction on the fundamental concepts and techniques that all designers must master to become skilled professionals.
