It was originally a book proposal that was rejected, so it was published as monthly magazine installments. It became a best-selling web design book because it focused on graphics for visual artists rather than technical coding.
And I had wanted to assign a web design book to my students once I realized that you could put graphics on the web.
And I went to the bookstore to find a book and all the books there were only HTML books teaching how to do the coding for the web, but not barely a mention of how to do the graphics.
So I decided in the bookstore, I'm going to write this book because I've already been writing curriculum for my students.
They were focused on the techie side of the programming side. And mine was more for the visual artists and the mere mortals who want to use technology.
I still have people to this day who tell me your book is why I had a business, how I got my first website, how I got my first job.
