Easy Web Graphics Paperback - 2001

From the publisher

Easy Web Graphics is the ideal guide for the growing crowd of computer-literate people who run a Web site and want it to look its best and be easy to use -- without hiring a full-time Webmaster. The book helps readers evaluate their Web pages with a critical design eye and points them toward the right hardware and software to tackle their design projects -- focusing on the programs in Microsoft RM Office 2000. The book also covers text fundamentals -- font selection, aliasing, paragraph spacing, and so on -- and shows how to use special effects to jazz up headlines and other large text elements. It also discusses photos, drawings, and clip art (including where to find it), it explains critical technical information such as graphic resolution, color palettes, and file formats, and it shows how to draw simple illustrations and shoot and retouch digital pictures with Microsoft PhotoDraw RM . It also presents design treatments that work with both text and graphics. The book covers projects such as using pictures as links, animating GIF images, and creating tiled backgrounds. It also includes a handy listing of Web and print resources that offer excellent design advice and technical assistance.
