Lesson 5, Chapter 3

OK, so I have sort of changed my opinion of The Principles of Beautiful Web Design.  I originally thought it was way to technical for the novice web designer and clearly geared more toward a pro who had a lot more experience with the type of thing.  But as we move into Chapter 3, I find myself so engrossed with the beautiful illustrations and examples that it’s a lot easier to stay focused and follow along.  This chapter dealt with adding texture to a site.  And I know we had already gone over this, and concepts like tiling, in the other text, but this chapter made it much more clear to me.  I particularly liked the section on “aged, weathered, worn, and nostalgic style.”  This is really the kind of look and feel I think would work for the site I have in mind.
