Andy Clarke’s Books Bundle
Get three of Andy’s industry influencing books—Art Direction for the Web, Hardboiled Web Design, and Transcending CSS Revisited—in one best-value bundle.
I explore the work of influential art directors to understand it and learn how to apply that knowledge to the web.
Real-world and fictional layouts highlight key points and are fantastic examples of what the web can be with great art direction. The author goes a step further by jumping right into key CSS properties and methods that make print-type/traditional layouts possible for the web.
Andy is urging the world to understand that designing for the web need not be boring / static due to technology limitations and performance considerations. Instead, he believes that it is possible to bring the same kind of creativity that print media has seen for decades.
This book is amazing! With tons of clear examples the author let you understand what art direction is and why it’s so important for the web; he embraces the latest features of the browsers to explain how to craft layouts once thought impossibile.
Read it non-stop. The history of art direction in part one is fascinating for anyone interested in the history of design. The sample layouts are inspiring and I loved trying out the CSS grid code to learn for myself how to build inspired layouts. This book is ace!

Incredibly well received, in 2015 I updated its content for an all new Fifth Anniversary Edition.
It was time to revisit Transcending CSS to examine the approaches we took and the tools we used at the start of the web standards revolution.
