WSW Boston: Photoshop: Designing for the Web Description:
Web Start Women is an organization devoted to bringing more women into the web design and development fields. We believe that there are too few women producing awesome content online and we aim to change the ratio by cultivating open, supportive, intimidation-free environments where women and girls of all ages can learn, build and code together.
What has a square blue logo and more tools than a Swiss Army knife? Photoshop!
The good news is that web crafters can get a lot done in Photoshop without having to master every last part of the program. The aim of this two-class series is to help you hone in on the tools that will serve you the best as you design your site.
Whether you're a legit web designer looking to improve your skills, a code-hacking developer who wants to be able to better visualize your ideas, or a complete web and Photoshop newbie, you'll walk away from this course with some useful new information such as:
- Photoshop tools that are most relevant to web work
- Workflow tips that will speed up your process
- Why non-destructive editing techniques are the cat's meow
- How to break down a full PS design into HTML/CSS code
- Where and when to use which image file types (.jpgs, .pngs, .gifs)
