Hello Hi!

I'm new to the site and been reading but couldn't find any sections for advices and tips...

I do graphics using photoshop cs2 (hate cs3 no Imageready) and little experience with 3dsMAX. Also using Dreamweaver.. (newest i believe)

Anyways I'm planning on making a website, I don't just want any kind of website i want something thats appealing to the eye, so i've been doing tutorials and looking for something that might interest me.. But still i haven't found that specific tutorial that might bring me to making the website.

So basically im asking for advice.. Coverage?

The coverage can be about almost anything under graphics.. I wanna do it all, i wanna learn more, and do things better, since i believe i can become better and more experienced in doing graphics.

But as of now, i need good pointers and advices and maybe even links on GOOD tutorials on making a website, (layouts and dreamweaver stuff)

Since i'm still quite puzzled by the way you take your layout from PS, to dreamweaver, ( I can do it) but its about integrating the LINKS and the
Borders...

So I would be happy to receive just about anything ^^.. Quite a long post unexpected.

hey there,
The tutorials here for designing the layout part(aka the photoshop bit) are as good as you will find on the net.
http://www.tutorialcode.com/html/sli...-it-using-css/
that tutorial is one i used to learn how to code a layout.
It uses CSS instead of tables, which is a much better way of bringing your layout to life
In terms of inspiration, the best way is to search around the internet, and find a website you like the look of, or like what it does.
From there, build upon it and come up with ways to make it better
Hope this helped. If you need anything else, just get back to me!
Thanks,
Rob

Just read the tutorial, and i have no experience at all with CSS.. Didn't understand much, (Makes using tables look much easier)

is every CSS text/portion he makes separate from every other? (i mean another CSS doc.)
Or is it just one doc?

rmbe,
that one i suppose is more advanced, taking 1px strips from each part of the layout.
Each bit of css he uses goes in one file, such as style.css.
Each bit of html he uses would go in a page such as index.html.
Then, to link the two, in the html, between the two head tags type:
this will link the stylesheet and the html together.
I probably made that sound a lot more complicated than it is, so have a go at this tutorial:
http://www.subcide.com/tutorials/csslayout/
This is one of the easiest to follow.
If you have any questions, just get back to me (either via pm or this thread)

Just was about to post.. I will look into that site too, but in the meanwhile i am looking at www.tutvid.com.. and he explains everything quite well ^^

anyways for now probably i'll just use the properties for further editing of the CSS.. thanks for the reply ^^

np mate
css is soo much better than tables once you learn how to use it
good luck!

I must say that i hate using tables, its complicated,especially when you have a grayish background, you won't be able to see the columns and rows..

creating div tags and using further options for CSS, looks like a brighter way..

Thanks indeed for leading me to CSS.. never thought of it at all.

Good luck to you too, Cya around

CS3 has the animating feature of the old IR built into the single application.

Simply go to "View" on the menu and select "Animation".

yes, but it was unable to open Old PS 7 files GIF files, which is why i stuck to it and then just got cs2.

and i don't see much difference in Cs3 and cs2 yet, both are good..
