Designing SVG Web Graphics (Paperback)

Using a heavily illustrated, step-by-step style, Watt aims to ease designers into a more analytical, programming approach to graphics without losing the appeal of form and design. The change in mindset required of graphic designers in exploiting "visual components" is explained clearly and practically. While presenting real-world examples of design tasks (such as creating a logo, navigation bar, or a full web page), Watt embeds sidebars, notes, and tips to convey the strict programming portion of the process. This makes it easier for the reader to balance the formality of the SVG code with the functionality of the design.The book assumes no prior knowledge of SVG and provides the foundational information for the reader to grasp the key concepts.In addition, and importantly, it contains source code for all of the SVG images and animations created in the book. This educates the readers in how SVG works and lays a foundation for their own experiments.

使用豐富的插圖和逐步指導的方式，Watt旨在讓設計師們輕鬆地轉向更分析、程式化的圖形設計方法，同時不失去形式和設計的吸引力。書中清晰而實用地解釋了圖形設計師在利用「視覺元件」方面所需的心態轉變。在呈現真實世界的設計任務示例（如創建標誌、導航欄或完整的網頁）的同時，Watt嵌入了側邊欄、註釋和提示，以傳達過程中嚴謹的程式化部分。這使讀者更容易平衡SVG代碼的正式性和設計的功能性。

這本書假設讀者對SVG沒有先備知識，並提供了讓讀者理解關鍵概念所需的基礎信息。

此外，更重要的是，書中包含了所有在書中創建的SVG圖像和動畫的源代碼。這使讀者了解SVG的工作原理，並為他們自己的實驗奠定基礎。
