With the basics of HTML and CSS under our belt, we’ll start using more advanced CSS techniques to enhance user experience, gain greater control over our design and even use HTML elements as the building blocks of our design. These concepts will set us up nicely to explore interactivity using Spry widgets, which are built into Dreamweaver. We’ll learn how Spry combines HTML, CSS and JavaScript to transform the user experience of our design. What’s more, we only need to know HTML and CSS, Dreamweaver will take care of the rest for us.

In working with designers around the word, we’ve seen a common gap in the workflow when bringing design concepts to the web browser. Many designers are not actually working in HTML and CSS in order to bring their designs to the browser. Most workflows rely on web programmers to make the design translation, which can result in design nuances being overlooked, resulting in a loss of the designer’s original vision. This online seminar seeks to show designers a step-by-step process for taking web designs in applications like Photoshop and Illustrator, and bringing them into HTML and CSS using Dreamweaver. We’ll start by ‘slicing’ our design into the pieces we’ll need to create our design in HTML. Then we’ll switch to Dreamweaver, create new blank documents, and show you how to take full control of your design as we build the necessary HTML and CSS your vision requires.

Chris Converse, Graphic Designer, traveled back to his alma mater, before the snow flew, to present “Creating Interactive PDFs using InDesign as the authoring tool.”

Chris Converse and Noha Edell showed every CS2 application, plus InCopy CS2 and After Effects. The Bridge and Version Cue were the hub of our presentations, and they worked flawlessly. Chris finished his GoLive presentation by sending an HTML file to his cell phone and an animated GIF to Noha’s cell phone, that the attendees were able to see through an iSight camera and iChat.
