The First Italian Magazine on Web DesignThe offspring of the succesful Italian weekly web-magazine for the youth, StradaNove, .netArt is the first magazine on web design in Italy. Every month .netArt will feature columns by Italian and non-Italian professionals on the matters web designers face everyday: browser compatibility, visibility and search engines, language evolution and new instruments for graphics and coders, etc. Special attention will be given to issues concerning visual communication and original design.In every issue of .netArt we will interview a successful web designer, Italian or foreign. For the first month we have interviewed Dmitry Kirsanov who, without leaving his native Saint Petersburg, competes with his American peers on their grounds. A member of the team who released the best selling HTML Unleashed, Dmitry writes the excellent and very successful column D-lab on webreference.com. Every four weeks .netArt will review the Site of the Month, an award we give to web sites who are remarkable for their quality, original content and graphic impact. The first winner is Mirco Pasqualini, for the interactive spy-story he created in Flash for the website giglio.com. .netArt addresses the growing community of Italian web designers but every article is either translated in English or an abstract is published in the same language. We do not plan to teach HTML to beginners, although we are planning to provide an extensive bookmark of sites who do. .netArt wants to become an instrument for sharing webmasters knowledge, an impulse for better quality in Italian web sites and the production of more and better resources in our language on design for the Internet. .netArt is also a mailing list where the ideas reported in the magazine can be discussed and new issues and suggestions can be brought up for further analysis. Several Italian and non-Italian professionals cooperate to the .netArt project. The co-ordinators are two youg Italian web designers: Frederic Argazzi, 25, a freelance web designer working in a communication and image studio in Modena, and Antonio Cavedoni, 20, who cooperates with a local provider.
