Product Description
The Macromedia Web Design Handbook
By Richard Schrand

As the quality of Web sites has increased, the creation tools have become more powerful and affordable. Beginners and hobbyists can now design sites that previously only professional designers could do. Macromedia's user-friendly Web design tools such as Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Director, Shockwave Studio, and Freehand have been a large part of the Web revolution. Now, with the right guidance, anyone can add streaming video, graphics, animations, photographic elements, and audio to their sites.

The Macromedia Web Design Handbook provides exactly that. Using an actual Web site, users work through step-by step tutorials that utilize the entire suite of Macromedia products. Each chapter functions as an individual tutorial on a specific program and teaches designers how to integrate the programs. In addition, programs that expedite your work such as Swift 3D and Wildform F/X are covered in detail.

The Macromedia Web Design Handbook has something for everyone, regardless of skill-level. Aspiring Web designers learn how to make their Web ideas become realities, intermediate users find ways to hone their skills and create more intricate content, and professional Web designers gain new ideas to help take their skills to the next level.
