IM new web design and need advice

Hello

Im very new web site design and need some advice. Ive been designing with Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign for a few years and say im at a high level of proficiency with them.

I am now wanting to move in design for the web. I just learned html and css and I'm learning Flash and Dreamweaver. I have so many questions that I put everything at once.

The first question is how all of these de-it-ur-self sites using CMS affect the market of the Web designers? It reduces demand for web designers because most people will now be able to build their own Web site using templates.

Secondly, what languages/programs, and in what order do you think would be useful for someone like me who wants to double as a graphic designer/web designer to know.

I went to see a professor on the subject and he said that if I am primarily a designer (who am) as opposed to a developer I should just learn html, css and javascript. But others said that, beyond the creative skills of a designerit is very useful for a freelance or someone in the job market learn MySLQ, ASP, coldfusion, PHP, and many others.

Please give me advice. Your suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

"How do all these sites of-it-ur-self with the help of CMS affect the market for web designers?"

of course, it has an impact on the way people develop Web sites. but I don't think that the market will suffer serious problems from it. There are very many companys who want professional web developers with a unique design and structure. You can, of course, deal with it using wordpress & co. by yourself. not as a whole structure, since it will be maybe not quite adaptable. You can use it as a structure for articles as well - on blog.banklupe.de: they designed a unique structure for the Web site and used the CMS of wordpress for the blog - and has adapted, he would comply with the CI. the advantage: wordpress is easy to use and webdesigner have better to do than post blog - writers can do themselves.

--> the market is constantly changing, just learning how to benefit from. :-)

    When something like you describe is reported, most often the user does not understand the layers of high level exist across all pages and updates on the page of your site. If you delete "Layer 1" you may remove the content of all pages of your site.

  • Looking to intensify my t2i and need advice on the new camera

    I've been using my t2i and need help to decide what new device purchase.  I use a canon 100-400 F4. 5 lenses that I love.  I mainly shoot birds in flight and the nature.  Now, my camera did a great job, but I'd like something that looks better with a high ISO setting.  I only use the manual settings and love my back focus feature, so a new camera would also have this. My price range is less than $2,000.  All advice is appreciated.

    Go full frame will give a lot of artificial scope. Regarding the high ISO of 7 2, I saw some very impressive samples drawn by 12 800.

  • Help - new Web design - need help to create a web gallery

    Hello world

    I am new to web design. I'm working on my first site and I have a bunch of images (approximately 30 or more) I want to put in a web gallery with captions. I know there are a ton of tutorials Gallery out there, but I'm a little hesitant, which might work better for me. You see although I Flash I am not too well known in it yet so I use mainly Dreamweaver to create my whole site. I'm also not sure how to allow visitors to view a Flash site - is - it downloads required to display it? That's why I'm kind of leaning towards not not using a Flash due to my lack of accessibility inexperience and the user web gallery. I'm basically looking for a web gallery with thumbnails on the side or at the top or bottom that if clicked open the picture in a larger preview area. I also have captions under each photo. I also want it to look sharp or professional (with a clean container, it sits in) do not like some of those that I see that you can create in DW automatically that looks as it did in the 1980s, haha.

    If you guys can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I appreciate the help.

    Thank you!

  • New web design - learn Dreamweaver first?

    I welcome the Dreamweaver community.

    After 30 years in print design, I finally made a decision to learn a little something about web design. With this goal in mind, when I updgraded to CS6, I bought "CS6 Design and Web Premium" package. The package includes Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash Pro. But I'm a bit confused where to start.

    I always buy the Adobe "Classroom in a book" series to learn the basics or new aspects of Adobe products. All three applications have equivalents of the IPC and I think I'll but the first IPC Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash Pro?

    So that demand, it's the right direction? I noticed on some forums of discussion that some use Fireworks more than Dreamweaver: I want to just make sure I'm on the right track.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Clinton

    Welcome to the community of DW, Clinton!

    30 years - which is an experience that you have up your sleeve!

    Web Design, fine, it works this way. It is in 2 parts - to start:

    • Design / layout / layout / wired / UI (two see it differently) - but the end goal is the same - to create the "design", in itself, that your site will look like
    • Development / slicing / Compositing / CSSing / PSD - CSS (again, different references) - make the "design", you did in an application such as Photoshop or Fireworks to be "web-friendly" - in other words, making .html and .css files that are the "basics" for a Web site

    Most web developers (including me) use Photoshop to create cuts of design (PSD files) we send back a million times the customer to get their approval. Then "decide" elements such as backgrounds, boxes, etc... Then open Dreamweaver, write the tag ""-which is the 'what' you want to display on your website (content, tables, boxes, widgets, snippets, etc...). Then, 'style' using 'CSS' Web site - for the match at the "PSD" that the customer had approved.

    That's it: I don't know if I could have put it more!

    CSS - Cascading Style sheet - is a piece of code that tells browsers how your website should be displayed. Height, spacing, margins, width, color, type of display, etc... With the birth of CSS - 3, things are even easier. A few key elements that can make the CSS-3 are lets say, Gradients, rounded edges, etc... (for which, you had to use a real .png or .jpg image in CSS - 2). Now, CSS - 3 can give you the same exact effect with no use of an image.

    HTML - now that HTML5 quickly supplanted the old web standards, you have decided to start your 'web journey' at the right time, I would say. HTML5 has infinite possibilities of creation 'sensitive' Webdesign - reactive, which means Monotype, multi-devices - for desktop computers, Tablet & mobile phones.

    With all that said, that Dreamweaver CS6 has some great tools for HTML5 standards like 'fluid Grid Layout"- with which you create 1 design, code 3 different documents CSS and BAM - your website will be optimized for all devices 3.

    Fireworks - certainly usable for web design. CS6 Fireworks has also some great tools such as 'Generator of CSS' gives you the CSS code for an item of the chosen design - in other words, the design in Fireworks, go over it, fireworks will generate the CSS code for you.

    jQuery - you should watch this - a few great 'plugins' that you can use in your website design / development. Now that 'Flash' is a kind of death (modern Pocket PCs do not support Flash), jQuery is your friend. Best part is completely open source.

    The next step - dynamic Web sites - as its name suggests, you can get in the construction of more "interactive" sites - such as a shopping cart, etc... then once you get a good shot of some basic CSS HTML &. And if you decide to use jQuery, you will get also a script - what is essential to build interactive websites as you progress.

    You can take a look at this video on Youtube. I know that there not too many views. But I personally think it's a good place to start with Fireworks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJmyYfNu1M

    This maybe go a little above your head right now - since you are a beginner to the top. But, feel free to ask questions as and when you have one, and we will be happy to help you! The world needs more of web designers / developers after all!

    All the best.

  • I'm new to VMware and need help.

    I'm new to VMWare and barely installed ESXi 6.0 created a host but now I can not install Windows 2012 r2. Cannot access the ISO. Do I need the plugin integration customer or what. I called tech support and they would not help because I am on trial. Any help would be great. Thank you

    You select the ISO in the settings of the virtual machine and select 'connect at Power On "? Alternatively, you can connect the ISO in the current state (power on) and then press CTRL-ALT-INS to 'hot' start the virtual machine.

    PS: If it still does not work, check that you have a bootable ISO image, for example not only a picture of Service Pack.

  • Responsive Web design and content management

    I read this article on the FAQ of Adobe Muse:

    "This is likely to change as we add integration CMS and Explorer allowing creation of websites for mobile devices and tablets".

    So here are my questions:

    1. is it correct that Adobe Muse can create optimized and functional websites for mobile devices in the future?

    2 adobe Muse will also support responsive Web design like Adobe Dreamweaver in the future?

    3 adobe Muse will also support a CMS? And even a CMS that we could allow our clients (maybe to work hand in hand with Business Catalyst)?

    Thank you very much for your comments!

    Regarding the delicate design, it's something that the team leans. See the following topics to idea that Sung has posted comments asking around device mobile site feature/workflow:

  • Start a new project and need advice! New on Illustrator!

    Hello everyone!

    I start a new project and have met a roadblock. I created a mock up of a Jersey for a friends racing team in photoshop and now I need to get all vectorized to send off for printing.

    In photoshop, I know how to make a great clipping mask. Yet in Illustrator I am lost! I have cooked up some "Ghetto Rigs' but thought I should learn the right way, rather learn something on the wall.

    Here is my Mock Up

    Screen Shot 2014-11-25 at 4.39.05 PM.png

    Currently, I have the Lion vectorized via the Trace of the Image

    Screen Shot 2014-11-25 at 4.40.19 PM.png

    But I need the lion to fit inside the shirt. Normally, I would think that a clipping mask would be appealed to. So I created a shape of the front of the shirt

    Screen Shot 2014-11-25 at 4.55.59 PM.png

    Then I put the lion in the layer below

    Screen Shot 2014-11-25 at 4.57.04 PM.png

    I then go to object > clipping mask > make and receive this error message

    Screen Shot 2014-11-25 at 4.58.56 PM.png

    I read the message loud and clear, but now I apparently don't know how to make a clipping with 2 files vectorized mask!

    Any guidance? I approach this wrong? Big up to anyone who actually spent the time to read this n___n

    CPK,

    Always stretch after tracing image to get things to work.

    Select / them and object > Image Trace > Expand.

  • I have Photoshop Web design and premium design I bought in 2012, all of a sudden, he wants a payment using my Photoshop.  I just bought Photoshop and Lightroom on the disk and is to request a payment open the program.  Why and how do arround I hate teas

    I have Photoshop webdesign and Design Premium I bought in 2012.  Today, he wants a payment to open my Photoshop I own or start a trace.  I just bought 7 Photoshop and Lightroom (I had, but it was a package deal and maybe it has a few updates).  How to work around these new demands of payment?  I do not pay for the product I own.  Adobe monthly plan prices are just too high for me.  I will continue to buy on disc.

    Amy_Wong Zoheir Debbie Clawson General Photoshop discussion

    Hi flourish,

    Yes, you do not have Adobe Design Premium CS5.5.

    When you open Photoshop, there is a possibility of "license this software" you need to choose and enter your serial key to allow.

    Once you enter your serial key, it should be allowed under your account and you do not have to buy it again.

    Make sure that you open the right program and version.

    Kind regards
