Synopsis

For the first time, here is an intelligent book that matches cutting-edge web design with powerful writing on the critical issues and discourses of the web.

The book is organized into five essential areas:

• Interface recognizes that even after a more than a decade of the web, designers and developers are still exploring the best ways to navigate cyberspace

• Typography analyzes the reinvention of once static letterforms when applied to on-screen media – including the use of time and motion

• Animation views the web as a time-based medium in which print and TV environments are combined into new formats

• Community investigates the explosive growth of personal and community homepages – from the crude and candid to the innocent and diversely outrageous

• Authoring considers the consequences of the complex websites which are now being created by complete amateurs, also ways of using the web as ‘text’ to sample and resample.

Today the web is a given, but its seemingly infinite variety and depth have forced companies and designers to reconsider their position as editors of the web’s content; on the web, authoring and designing become deeply collaborative efforts. Deep Sites leads a large audience directly to the key practitioners and to the underlying principles that make their work so significant.
