WEBEXPEDITION18 Never Stop The Exploring

This afternoon I received a copy of Smashing Book 2! It’s a book about best practices in modern Web design and it shares valuable practical insight into design, usability and coding.

The book is in my hands and I want to share first impressions with you guys.

Book looks smashing! Solid hardcover, 360 pages on coated paper with full color images, nice red bookmark, beautiful full page illustrations for each chapter, smashing packaging and the most important high quality articles.

The list of authors is impressive. Take a look at this names: Matt Ward, Alexander Charchar, Francisco Inchauste, Mike Rundle, Janko Jovanovic, Vivien Anayian, Christoph Kolb, Susan Weinschenk, Steven Bradley and The Smashing Magazine Team.

Book is divided into 10 chapters:

• “The Principles of Great Graphic Design” by Matt Ward and Alexander Charchar
• “Visible vs. Invisible Design” by Francisco Inchauste
• “Designing Mobile User Experiences” by Mike Rundle
