Course Description:

Get fresh ideas, techniques, and sound advice—this class covers the creation of Web graphics using professional digital imaging tools. Photoshop is the primary focus of the class, but other programs, such as Fireworks and Illustrator, will be explored.

Through lecture, lab based instruction, and step-by-step projects, students will learn the workflow for creating graphic components—from page layouts to navigation and animations—along with efficient production strategies that will save time and effort. Beginning to intermediate Web designers and developers, and those already familiar with Photoshop who would like to apply their skills to the Web, will benefit from this course.


Topics Include:

  • When to use GIF or JPEG compression
  • Working with color, type, and background images
  • Working with layers, layer groups, layer comps, and layer styles
  • Slicing images, and creating rollovers
  • Creating animated GIFs
  • Integrating images with Dreamweaver to deploy on the Web

Prerequisite(s):

"Adobe Photoshop, Introduction" or equivalent experience with instructor approval. Familiarity with HTML and hands-on working knowledge of the Macintosh and/or Windows environment are required. This advanced class assumes that the student has mastered foundation skills as noted on the Photoshop Skills list. Competency in these skills will be essential to completing assignments and keeping up with the pace of the class.
