Alexander Dawson's Distinctive Design: A Practical Guide to Creating a Useful, Beautiful Web targets Web designers with basic coding knowledge but little knowledge of information design, graphic design, and usability. Overall, Dawson's emphasis on user-centered design is commendable, yet the book would be more useful if it offered the reader more practical, substantive advice. Dawson uses the phrase "distinctive design" throughout the book, though he never thoroughly defines the term.
