Books on reserve at the Malpass Library

  • Robin Williams’s design books—mentioned in Chapter 12 of the Anderson book. To get the full story, check out the following books, which are simply top-notch:
    • Non-designer‘s design book : design and typographic principles for the visual novice (1995). Contains the nifty CRAP principles, plus many examples which explain them well.
    • Robin Williams Web design workshop (with John Tollett and David Rohr, 2002). A nifty problem/solution oriented book which I seriously considered assigning for this class. If you have specific problems to solve, see if Williams has tackled them before you reinvent the wheel.
