o Attaching an External CSS File Portfolio Series allows you to get in depth with the software
beginning in Project 1 — you don’t have to read several
chapters of introductory material before you can start
creating finished artwork.
Our approach also prevents “topic tedium” — in other
words, we don’t require you to read pages and pages of
information about text (for example); instead, we explain
text tools and options as part of a larger project (in this
case, as part of a set of promotional ads).
Clear, easy-to-read, step-by-step instructions walk you
through every phase of each job, from creating a new file
Arts Council Website
to saving the finished piece. Wherever logical, we also offer
project 7 o Placing Static Foreground Images practical advice and tips about underlying concepts and
graphic design practices that will benefit students as they
enter the job market.
o Extracting Photoshop Assets
The projects in this book reflect a range of different
types of design jobs, from designing a composite layout
to building a Web page with CSS. When you finish the
projects in this book (and the accompanying Portfolio
Builder exercises), you will have a substantial body of work
that should impress any potential employer.
The eight projects are described briefly here; more
detail is provided in the full table of contents (beginning
on Page viii).
