Design Flash: The best web site around the world

One of the books I’ve invested a long time ago that I still do scan from time to time until now are motion graphic design with the title “Design Flash: The best web site around the world” by Daniel Donnelly from Rockport Publishing which, by the way, rank as best seller book in amazon.com.

The book is with me for great use for quite a long, way back, 2002. I’ve kept and stored it in open bookshelves in the corner of my production area.

I’m so so so happy that this book, to date, are of too little scratch on its surface even thought it’s been used by many.

This book brings so much joy to me, my team, my students, and even to our family.  And I’m happy to share with you my experience with my precious design book reference.

Build, Style and Quality

The book in its entirety is really great. The build, the materials and print finish itself are really amazing. It is built to last for ages even when stored in open library in the corner of your production office.

The modular detachable wrap style of the cover is really great as it is glossy print finish.  It gives you a sense of security from either the drop or spill of water on any uncertain incident it might happen. 

Content Design, Layout, Colors and Contrast

The design and layout along with the colors and contrast of the said book are astonishing. It does really effectively from the reader’s design perspective.  Flipping from page to page never ceases to amaze you well and never gets you bored every time you scan through it during your spare time.

The arrangement, order, and layout in general are of great contrast.

The screenshots sample used in the book are definitely of great quality with great details. It’s perfect!

Full bleed print insert

The full-bleed page insert are quite remarkable as if you are experiencing the interactivity of the visual motion design concept along with its graphic user interface navigability used in the book. It is truly an inspiring design style.

To sum it all, the book is a great design reference investment.  It is worth every penny or even more than the penny I spent…  I learn a lot from this book that I was able to share and impart to all my students in the field of multimedia design and development.

Invest in the right tools based on your needs and budget.  Take note, premium and quality content comes with a reasonable price. So be cautious and save for the best.  Hope this review will help you in any way it can.
