Adobe makes easy things even easier

I never had a good grip on web design before this year. I taught myself enough of Dreamweaver a few years ago just to have a basic thesis project website. It was straight html, though I can hardly take any credit since Dreamweaver practically does everything for you. You just drag and drop assets where they need to be and create your buttons and links.

Maybe the slice tool was around when Photoshop 7 was the new version, but I didn't know anything about it if it was. That would have been much easier, even more so than the already simple Dreamweaver setup, to create a basic page. What I like about this class is we're getting a taste of the conventional ways of web design. Unfortunately, with projects being about 2 weeks apart, I don't know if I'll be able to get a portfolio piece out of it.

I'll speak on branding in my next blog...
