Título: Taschen's 1000 Favorite Websites
Autor: Julius Wiedemann
Sinopse: Product Description In the not-too-distant past, the "internet" was a military communication device virtually unknown to civilians. Then in the 1990s came an explosion, a sort of digital big bang, and suddenly everyone began communicating via the world wide web. The web's evolution has proceeded at lightning speed, meaning that today's websites are infinitely more sophisticated and well-designed than their predecessors. When a website gets updated, the previous version generally evaporates into the digital beyond, so it's up to us to preserve and record this fascinating medium. 1000 Favorite Websites brings together -- you guessed it -- 1000 of today's very best websites in the areas of advertising, architecture, art design, digital, erotic, illustration, movies, fashion, photography, and more; each website is presented via screenshots annotated with icons indicating the features of the site (e.g. animation, sound, downloadable material, etc.) Serving as a vital reference for web enthusiasts, this book is also a place marker in the history of the internet and a vibrant catalog of cutting-edge global web design. Bonus: Included in the book is a DVD (PAL and NTSC format, region 0) containing six mini-documentaries, each focusing on interviews with a creative web professional. The subjects covered include: how to use the net to maximize production, to find technical support, to help clients, to provide better service, to exchange ideas, to stay updated on the latest news, and to put creativity to work. About the Author Julius Wiedemann was born and raised in Brazil. After studying graphic design and marketing, he left the country to live in Japan for almost 4 years, where he worked in Tokyo as art editor for digital and design magazines. He subsequently joined TASCHEN as the editor in charge of digital titles and is currently based at the company's headquarters in Cologne. In 2001, he edited the book Digital Beauties and since then has been building up TASCHEN's newest digital collection.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora TASCHEN convidam o leitor a uma experiência visual intensa, marcada por reproduções em grande formato e detalhamento minucioso. Seu catálogo costuma explorar temas que transitam entre a arte, a arquitetura, a história cultural e a fotografia, revelando desde manuscritos medievais até a evolução do design e da cultura pop. A leitura desses volumes combina textos informativos com imagens que dialogam diretamente com o conteúdo, criando um ritmo que é tanto didático quanto contemplativo. Embora haja uma forte presença de obras sobre mestres clássicos e movimentos artísticos, também se encontram títulos que abordam histórias visuais contemporâneas e fenômenos culturais, com variações entre narrativas mais documentais e outras mais ensaísticas.
