While               waiting               at               the               shopping               mall               with               some               time               to               kill               I               ventured               into               my               local               chain               book               store,               Borders.

Being               a               web               designer               I               spend               all               too               much               time               in               front               of               my               computer               screen               and               was               looking               forward               to               checking               out               the               physical               "print"               world               again.

To               my               surprise,               I               found               a               $15.00               magazine               with               CD               devoted               to               web               design               entitled               "Practical               Web               Design."
I               was               intrigued               to               find               such               an               expensive               "trade"               looking               magazine               at               a               local               book               store.

It's               originally               published               in               the               UK,               but               is               available               at               Borders,               Barnes               and               Nobles,               Amazon.com               and               all               other               major               book               and               periodical               shops.

I               sat               down               and               read               the               whole               thing.

It               contained               a               wide               array               of               articles               all               linked               together               by               the               general               web               design               topic.

The               most               impressive               article               was               a               before               and               after               spread               of               a               real               website.

The               writers               of               the               magazine               took               a               boring,               regular               looking               webpage               and               spiced               up               the               visual               content               and               the               information               it               contained.

This               included               adding               style               sheets               and               custom               graphic               design.

This               particular               feature               would               be               the               magazine's               greatest               selling               point,               as               it's               relatively               unique.

I               don't               see               very               many               before               and               after               step               by               step               articles               that               deal               with               a               real               life               website.

Every               issue               they               take               a               different               site               and               run               it               through               professional               web               design               treatment.
               There               were               reviews               of               the               coolest               and               most               creatively               designed               websites,               which               are               always               fun               to               check               out.

In-depth               step               by               step               tutorials               gave               very               specific               uses               for               particular               web               technologies.

The               November               2005               issue               that               I               read               had               multiple               Flash               tutorials               with               screen               shots               and               excellent               directions.

The               creativity               and               quality               of               each               tutorial               was               excellent.

They               described               in               step               by               step               detail               how               to               build               a               moveable               user               controlled               pixel               art               character               with               a               2d,               vintage,               Nintendo-like               look.

Every               issue               contains               specific               tutorials               on               different               web               technologies,               like               flash,               PHP               etc.

An               SEO               and               Internet               marketing               section               outlined               the               basics,               complete               with               pros               and               cons,               of               different               optimization               strategies               analyzing               real               life               case               studies.

Practical               Web               Design               included               multiple               pages               that               showcased               royalty-free               stock               photography               provided               on               the               accompanying               CD,               which               also               included               proprietary               software               for               building               css               templates,               multiple               software               trials               and               utilities.
               The               voice               of               each               article               was               excellent               and               I               found               the               writing               very               professional               and               fun               to               read.

Now               here               are               the               bad               things               about               it.

First               of               all,               each               issue               is               relatively               thin,               about               a               1/4               inch               thick,               so               there's               not               much               content               for               the               hefty               $15               dollar               price               tag.

The               tutorials               are               too               scattered               and               unconnected               to               each               other.

Descriptions               of               a               user               controlled               Nintendo               looking               character               may               be               cool,               but               without               examples               of               a               business               implementation               or               what               to               connect               with,               it               doesn't               serve               much               use               to               me               as               a               professional.

If               I               had               that               specific               of               an               idea,               I'd               probably               do               a               lot               of               research               on               a               site               devoted               solely               to               flash               innovation,               like               Flashkit.

In               this               particular               type               of               magazine               I               would               have               been               more               interested               in               looking               at               a               new               way               to               solve               an               old               problem               or               a               commercial               application               of               the               technology               being               presented.
               A               lot               of               the               information               is               just               a               repeat               of               what               can               easily               be               found               and               accessed               for               free               online,               like               the               cool               site               section               and               the               stock               photography.

Practical               Web               Design               Magazine               targets               themselves               towards               professionals,               but               seems               to               play               more               to               amateurs               than               it               should.

In               one               article               there               was               a               full               two               paragraph               description               of               CSS               which               included               references               to               and               the               definition               of               the               W3C.

Come               on,               any               professional               web               designer               and               most               students               will               have               that               information               down               pat.

It's               literally               one               of               the               first               things               you               learn               and               is               all               over               the               web.

The               SEO               articles               included               lots               of               really               basic               information               and               spent               a               lot               of               time               describing               basics               like               keyword               density.
               Overall               I               enjoyed               this               magazine.

I               would               highly               recommend               it               to               any               beginner,               amateur               or               anyone               thinking               about               getting               into               the               web               design               industry.

It               contains               a               wide               variety               of               information               and               is               fun               to               read.

I               would               not               recommend               it               to               professional               web               designers,               at               least               not               on               a               regular               basis.

With               a               cover               price               of               $15               per               issue,               it's               too               thin               and               contains               too               much               information               you               already               know               and               could               easily               find               online               for               free.

If               you               need               some               trade               magazines               for               tax               write               offs               or               to               look               good               in               your               office,               Practical               Web               Design               would               be               perfect,               but               as               an               information               source               for               a               professional               web               designer,               it's               not               worth               the               price               tag.

You're               a               web               designer,               use               the               web               to               find               your               way.
