Part of the Against The Clock Professional Portfolio Series, The Web Design Portfolio offers an in-depth introduction to two of the most popular applications in Web design. The real-world projects in this book provide a solid foundation for graphic design students to build into more advanced animation and Web design specialties, or even to jump right into an entry-level career in interactive design.

 

In Flash CS4:

• Use built-in drawing tools to create complex artwork that can be animated directly on the Flash Stage.
• Use a variety of techniques to animate graphic symbols, movie clips, and buttons in a digital aquarium.
• Use a variety of ActionScript functions to program a race with a randomly generated winner.

 

In Dreamweaver CS4:

• Use built-in tools to apply proper structure to a digital book chapter, and incorporate the new page into an existing site layout.
• Use a variety of methods to incorporate images and multimedia files into an existing Web site.
• Use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control both the layout and appearance of a Web site.

 

Plus, Project 7 combines skills in both applications, including some of the cross-application features that are enabled using the Adobe Creative Suite.
