Understanding the Art and Science of Web Design
WebWord.com: An interview with Jeffrey Veen, author of The Art and Science of Web Design. According to Veen "The principles for Web design are pretty straightforward: know your audience, keep it simple, be fast, know the rules before you break them. With the exception of the speed thing, I'm not sure they're all that different from designing in any other medium. Applying common sense to Web design would make 90 percent of the sites out there so much better. It's just so easy to get caught up in what you can do and forget about what you should do. It's a classic technology paradox." (2001-07-01)
