Web Standards Creativity
Co-authored by Rob Weychert
Gathering insight from ten esteemed web designers and developers from around the globe, Web Standards Creativity compiles a variety of inspirational tips and techniques for web professionals. Whether your weapon of choice is structure (XHTML), style (CSS), or behavior (JavaScript), you’re bound to find something in this book to get your creative juices flowing.
Rob’s chapter, “Bridging the Type Divide: Classic Typography with CSS,” is a healthy mix of history, theory, and technique. It examines established typographic principles and conventions, and assesses if and how they should be applied to modern web design. Using a simple case study and an approachable writing style, Rob demonstrates standards-based methods for achieving sophisticated, nuanced typography with CSS, with a keen attention to minute typographic details often ignored in web design. Topics include analysis of screen fonts, maintaining readable line lengths, sensible paragraph indents, ornate drop caps, small caps, titling figures, and more.
