From Photoshop to Dreamweaver

Description

This book will show you how to combine the power of Adobe Photoshop 7 and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, both the premiere applications in their field and both recently updated.

The book's core purpose is to teach the fundamentals of designing for the web using Photoshop and Dreamweaver, through a combination of theory and practical examples. We will start with a brief look at the history of the internet and some design theory, to lay the groundwork for what follows. We do not aim to bore you with theory! Projects and step-by-step examples will form a large part of this book - so that you can see the theory and good advice put into practice.

The end goal of this book is to enable the reader to create a visually stunning, fully functional and aesthetically pleasing website. The combination of web design theory and clearly worked examples will allow you to go away and experiment for yourself - more aware of the potential complexities involved in building a website and better positioned to do it more efficiently than before. The outcome: a great visual and well-designed site.

Creating an aesthetically pleasing website that is also universally functional is no easy task. Through the initial concept stages and into implementation a web designer must be aware of the fundamentals involved in taking a flat and lifeless graphic and converting it into a dynamic entity. For an uninitiated artist or potential web designer the traps and pitfalls in creating such a site are plentiful. Walking our reader through this in the simplest and most informed manner possible is the goal of this publication.

Respecting the Internet as a flexible medium as rich in personality as those who use it is the message that we’re trying to get across. But at the same time we want to make the site design and development process accessible by explaining to the reader the fundamentals in clear and concise language and providing relevant screen shots and graphics.

描述

本書將向您展示如何結合Adobe Photoshop 7和Macromedia Dreamweaver MX的功能，這兩個領域中的頂尖應用程式都已經更新。

本書的核心目的是通過理論和實際示例的結合，教授使用Photoshop和Dreamweaver進行網頁設計的基礎知識。我們將首先簡要介紹互聯網的歷史和一些設計理論，為接下來的內容打下基礎。我們不打算用理論來讓您感到無聊！本書的一大部分將是項目和逐步示例，以便您可以看到理論和良好建議如何付諸實踐。

本書的最終目標是使讀者能夠創建一個視覺上令人驚嘆、功能完整且美觀的網站。網頁設計理論和清晰的實例結合，將使您能夠自行進行實驗，更加了解建立網站所涉及的潛在複雜性，並能夠比以前更高效地完成。結果將是一個出色的視覺效果和設計精美的網站。

創建一個既美觀又通用的網站並不容易。在初步概念階段和實施階段，網頁設計師必須了解將平面和無生命的圖形轉換為動態實體所涉及的基本原理。對於一個未經培訓的藝術家或潛在的網頁設計師來說，創建這樣一個網站的陷阱和障礙很多。本書的目標是以最簡單和最瞭解的方式引導讀者走過這一過程。

尊重互聯網作為一個靈活的媒介，就像使用它的人一樣豐富多樣，這是我們想要傳達的信息。但同時，我們希望通過清晰簡潔的語言和相關的屏幕截圖和圖形，使網站設計和開發過程對讀者易於理解和接觸。
