“To learn how to design and deliver better web experiences, we need to pull from many tutorial sources. Books are good, but which ones? I don’t usually suggest “how-to” books, but reading this book from Kurt Dommermuth -an accomplished designer who has an obvious ZEN sensibility for how we process visual information, introduces teachings that help you understand how to organize for perception, how to direct the eye, clarify complexity, and simplify visuals. Like a Zen Master Dommermuth turns the droll of daunting data banter into web enlightenment with a creative spirit and humble heart. Read, learn and do.”
