I'm looking for knowledge on webdesign.
But NOT on the HTML/CSS part.
I can do that part OKish.

But, on how to combine colors, fonts, backgrounds
and make that into a complete design.
And I would like to go deep into this.
Not just a fast tutorial.
I don't learn too much from those.
No, give me solid info.

Please, tip me about good ebooks, books, sites,
blogs, articles and links.

So who want to give a crack at it...?
Thanks in advance. :p

  • Surprisingly there's not very much in the way of good resouces that teach you the principles of good web design.

    Sitepoint has a couple of books that are worth checking out.

    The*Principles*of Beautiful*Web*Design - SitePoint Books

    Sexy Web Design - SitePoint Books

    But I'd recommend regularly reading design blogs, they often have articles on good web design. Smashing Magazine is a good place to start and they link to lots of other blogs and articles: Smashing Magazine

  • Yep, I have noticed it not too much on the principles
    of good web design out there on the net.
    Really a shame. :p

    Wake up, pro webdesigners.
    Write a ebook for crying out loud.
    And sell it.
    I'll pay, but keep it in good quality.
    Crap gets a fast refund.


    Isn't that just plain CSS code info...? :confused:

    Update:
    The links to the 2 books mentioned above:
    Sexy Web Design
    The Principles of Beautiful Web Design
    60 bucks for those 2 ebooks.
    Well, I guess I can cut drinking this or next weekend.
  • Bill also give some links for web design tutorials. (thx for bill)
    160 Web Design Tutorials on this forum too.
    Quite nice for starters.

    But one of the main needs of designer is to have a good number of images.
    I usually use this website to find our needs:
