The Against the Clock Companion Series was designed to work together with application-specific training and skills development books. The books in the series provide background in fundamental design and artistic issues and complement the hands-on, skills-based approach of the Against the Clock applications titles. Courses can be found in Office Information Systems, Computer Science, and Fine Arts Departments, as well as Continuing Education, Journalism, and Printing and Lithography.

Today's web design and site management tools have come a long way toward providing even inexperienced designers the tools they need to build complex pages. Little energy is focused, however, on making those pages look good. Simply having functional buttons, images, and even animations on your pages doesn't address fundamental design issues. What looks good? What works best at getting the viewer's attention? These questions and many others are the subject of the Web Design Companion for the Digital Artist. Starting with basic browser display issues, and moving on through the proper use of type elements, positioning and formatting of graphic objects, the inclusion of rich media objects, this book is a powerful addition to any application-specific web design text. Focusing on balance, readability, and effectiveness, this companion book is sure to improve the results of the reader's efforts.

Gary Poyssick, co-owner of Against The Clock, is a well-known and often controversial speaker, writer, and industry consultant who has been involved in professional graphics and communications for over 15 years. A respected author, Poyssick penned the highly-popular Workflow Reengineering (Adobe Press), Teams and the Graphic Arts Service Provider (Prentice Hall), Creative Techniques: Adobe Illustrator, and Creative Techniques: Adobe Photoshop (Hayden Books).
