1. What was your experience using Layer Comps? In what way will you continue using Layer Comps in future projects?
Layer comps are awesome, amazing, and whatever other superlative you can think of...
2. Please describe which method you used to produce your slices. Did you experience challenges? After completing this part of the project, will you use slicing in future projects? Please review the Smashing Magazine link to see how Photoshop is being used to create web page layouts and assets. What are your thoughts about using Photoshop in your future web projects?
The method? Beat head repeatedly against the nearest boulder ( yea, don't I wish, that would mean I was outside doing something)... I found that finishing it in FireWorks was a decidedly huge improvement in the end product. Did I experience challenges? Refer to second sentence... Yes, I will use slicing in the future, very judiciously... Actually, the slicing was pretty cool, it was using Photoshop to create transparent backgrounds and DW to insert the images that really got things out of control... I will definitely use Photoshop in at least some part of the creation of web sites.
3. In Part 2, you added images to your CSS to create a rollover without the text added to your image. The text was added in the XHTML. Which method of adding buttons do you prefer in your web design, rollover buttons using Dreamweaver or adding the image to your CSS? Why?
4. What web asset did you create for Part 3? Did you create any additional assets for your web site? Which ones?
I totally prefer creating the text AND the buttons in CSS. The web asset I created was the the whole design of the navbar, and the color choices.
5. Did you complete the bonus? Tell us how you completed it.
Yes, I completed the bonus. I cut and pasted the code from the rest of the site, and then went through the tedious and laborious process of updating it all to fit the new circumstances (it was all one folder deeper).
6. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
Whatever fits the occasion...
My Final Project
Take a look at the code it took to get this baby going and you will understand "sentence 2" : )
