Good design resource: Smashing Magazine

This site is an awesome design resources: www.smashingmagazine.com

Particularly, this article, 35 designers x 5 questions, pointed me to an excellent book, which I read in one sitting:

Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug.

This guy, Steve Krug, is a usability expert. He's funny, brief, and most importantly, he quickly shows you how to make any site you design/develop/work on more user-friendly.

Both of these are great suggestions. For those who are serious about becoming in demand Web developers or, who want to make their own sites attractive and easy to navigate a serious study or usability is a must, despite it's tendency to produce yawns. It's great to see a book that approaches the topic with a sense of humor.

Hi,
For my final project, I will do option 1. The business will be Stopover Travel. Although I have next to no experience with computers other than this class, I hope you like the ficticious business idea I created. I encourage any feedback as I am just learning. - Jennifer Boyden
