One aspect of Newfangled’s agency alliance is our design consultation. Typically when we are working with an agency or design firm they will send web page layouts to us for review before presenting them to their clients. This allows us to provide technical and information design feedback to the agency so that they can be confident that what they present will be easily produced. We have written a couple of newsletters that provide some tips for print designs as they transition to designing for the web. We’re often asked for recommendations for books that can further help in this transition. While there are plenty of books out there on this subject, there are few that provide practical help without getting into the minutia of HTML coding (which most print designers don’t want to deal with) or becoming too theoretical. One book that does an excellent job of providing concrete information design tips for the web is Steve Krug’s Don’t Make Me Think. This month’s newsletter is a book report on his book as well as a short list of other books we recommend.
