Mark Boulton is a designer from the UK. He’s worked exclusively in web design for over ten years, but has a background in traditional graphic and typographic design. Drawing on this traditional background, Mark is able to bridge the gap between graphic design and the modern web design. Mark runs his own web design studio, Mark Boulton Design, who specialise in designing simple, beautiful things for the modern web. He also co-wrote Web Standards Creativity published by Friends of Ed, and he writes a popular blog, mostly about design. What started out as a few blog posts, has been rewritten from scratch into five parts, each with five chapters: Part 1: Getting Started In this part, you’ll learn about what it takes to get started for designing for the web. You’ll learn about the various tools, processes, and practices. Part 2: Research and Ideas Design begins with information, information gleaned from research. This research in turn informs ideas. In this part, you’ll learn the various techniques to help get your design off on the right foot. Part 3: Typography Typographic design is more than just picking a font. In this part, you’ll learn how good typographic design is at the very heart of good web design. Part 4: Designing with colour In this part, you’ll learn basic colour theory. How to create stunning colour palettes and ensure they are applied to the web in the best way possible. Part 5: Layout In this part, you’ll learn how to use compositional devices such as The Golden Section, and grid systems to bring your designs together.
