Book Description

Amazon.com Review
Adobe Seminars: Web Page Design mimics the seminar world by combining a lot of sessions on related topics; you can jump around from session to session or concentrate solely on those you need most. All of the sessions focus on designing Web pages, from production and design to artistic implementation and site management. First, the book teaches you how to define the purpose of your site, figure out the production roles among various people in your organization, and determine your marketing perspective. Next, you learn how to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create graphics, text, and special effects; design a reasonable site structure; create navigational elements and image maps; prepare graphics for the Web; and work with color. You find out how to use Adobe PageMill, the WYSIWYG HTML editor, and Adobe SiteMill, the site manager, to fine-tune your HTML, create HTML tables and frames, and more. You also discover how to create animations from such applications as GifBuilder and Macromedia Director; add sound and video effects using SoundEdit Pro and Premiere; create PDF files with Adobe Acrobat; and grasp trickier aspects such as Web hosting, CGI scripting, and database creation. This full-color guide features plenty of step-by-step instruction, clear illustrations, and a CD-ROM with project files and images and clip art. People with a wide range of skill levels can benefit from this book's tips, including intermediate and semi-advanced Web developers, managers, artists, and programmers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I'm surprised at other people's reviews.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe(R) Seminars: Web Page Design (Paperback)
I do admit that this book is probably not for the beginners, but people who are designing corporate websites usually are not. This book will NOT teach you how to create "cool effects" on your web pages, but rather teach you the concepts of web strategy and design. I doesn't teach you how the graphics are created using Illustrator and PhotoShop, but rather how and when to implement them. It's my philosophy that a design book should stick to the concepts of design rather than specific effects. In that aspect, this book does well.

adobe couldve done better,
This review is from: Adobe(R) Seminars: Web Page Design (Paperback)
as someone who is overly familiar with photoshop and fairly new to online design i learned some of the basics of web design techniques from this book - it was a very easy read but there couldve been a little more detail on some of the techniques used - considering this is a book with the name adobe on the cover i expected more - if you have never used photoshop or any adobe products i would shy away from this book - i bought this book in the store for the full price of 40- and i dont think it was worth it - i would loan it to a friend if they were looking for a specific technique and were familiar with the program already but i would not tell them to buy it

Too Little Too Much,
By Jerry Justianto (Indonesia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe(R) Seminars: Web Page Design (Paperback)
Why is it too little too much? First of all for a beginner, you should forget it and DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. This book will treat you as an intermidiate advance user of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. So you will not learn step-by-step short cut. This book is good for giving a general idea on web design using Adobe products. Thus if your Adobe software can't do a certain thing like creating HTML table, the author will teach you in using Notepad Editor instead of Adobe Pagemill. What I like about this book is, its design will help advance users of Adobe Photoshop to make it as a reference in designing a web page. For the advance user who never learn about web limitation also will learn a great deal of knowledge from this book. What I would suggest to the author for the second edition of this book is to add an "INDEX" and also incorporating more sharewares like Microsoft Gif Animators, LviewPro (for capturing the screen), and others.
