Web Design
ENG 330

• Photoshop/graphics site of the day from
  Derik and Luz and
  • CSS layouts from Rene

Today’s topics are more CSS hands-on, and images and Photoshop.

For the CSS, we will continue with a file from our HTML & CSS textbook (p. 295 at the end of Chapter 12). Save this HTML file to start on, then open Dreamweaver and make it look like this finished file. Note the Code | Split | Design buttons in the top left corner of the Dreamweaver screen. Code is like Notepad, but color coded, with auto-suggest. HTML is still HTML no matter where you edit it.

Reading for today is CSS: chapters 11, 12, 13, 15 and images: HTML & CSS chapters 5, 16. Here are some links to sites that provide additional help with images:

• Go to Webreference and check out their Design Lab
• A good quick page on image file formats, including print.
• About.com on JPEG and GIF myths
• Here are some important tips from Internet World that still hold: Five Graphic Sins
• And here are some tips I came up with for use of images on the Web.
