Williams, Robin. The Non-Designer's Design Book: Design and Typographic Principles for the Visual Novice. 3rd ed. Berkeley: Peachpit Press, 2008. Print.

Williams addresses the need to helping those who are not formally trained in basic web design. The book discusses common elements – contrast, repetition, alignments, and proximity – in terminology that is easy to understand. In addition, Williams addresses the use of color in various digital media – including Web sites. Despite their level of training, Williams acknowledges the increasing number of individuals who are attempting Web design. The book provides recommendations and directions for good Web design in a simple, technical free vocabulary.

This book is significant because it uses simple, clear instruction for basic Web site design. It allows anyone to comfortable with Web design basics and confident in Web design construction. A general critique of the text reveals the general tips needed in basic Web design. This text fits into my project because it allows me to cover the general tips in Web design.
