Web Design Tips for the Print Designer

Designing for the web can be really fun. Unlike other mediums, where you might not be sure exactly how things will look until you get back a proof from the printers, or see color separations, there is an immediacy to web design, where what you design is exactly how it will look.

Some of the technical limitations we face on the web can be perplexing, and losing some of the typographic control we are used to when designing for print can be hard to contend with. Hopefully the tips and techniques offered in this newsletter will help you to avoid some of the technical pitfalls and begin to enjoy the web design process.
