We took some time to go through all the suggestions and ideas, analyze them, find common interests and determine what you expect from the book and how it should look to meet your expectations. And now it’s time to get a little bit more concrete in the second round of our project.
The book will definitely cover the following topics: the Smashing Magazine story, prototyping and wireframing, typography guide, color theory and practical examples, usability, performance optimization and business and freelancing guide (starting your own business).
Of course, this isn't everything. Many more topics can be covered in the book, and you can decide what topics should be covered in the book. Please vote in the poll here!
Special Awards For Active Participants
Of course, we also came up with some exclusive, special awards for the active participants of the Smashing Book Forum. However, we don’t want to lay all our cards on the table — the special prize is not a free book copy, not a third-party gift: it is directly related to the book. The awards will be unique and are not for sale.
Here are the winners so far (or their forum nicknames at least):
GeoEgo
mloclam
Furmi
ajcates
noirfatom
mWalk
fluxerj
mediocre
Norbert
mads
vladgidea

Thank you for your participation, folks! We appreciate it! You’ll get the exclusive awards when the book goes into print.
Winners, please send your postal address to Sven via PM! Thank you!
The details of the book layout will be determined as we learn more about the content of the book. You can discuss book layout suggestions in this forum thread.
