Introduction The idea for a Sketch Book is the brainchild of Dean Kaplan who understood the web designer’s need for a place to sketch and keep their design ideas. Knowing that when people design, they work through ideas on whiteboards, scrap paper, or even cocktail napkins–only to lose the important details later. Kaplan created this sketch book to capture these ideas and help envision them on web browsers. The idea is simple. Give the user pages of grid space to draw and layout their plans, sketches, and ideas for web sites. Additionally, users have found a number of unexpected uses for the book. The book provides: • A grid background on each page. • A binding that allows you to have one hand on your keyboard and one on a pencil. • Over 150 pages to write, draw, compose or doodle. • An organized place for your user interface designs. The Web Designers Application Sketch Book has been created with web designers in mind. We hope that you will find this book useful for whatever purpose you choose.
