Focus on the Adobe web tools Fireworks CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 in this intensive hands-on weekend. Fireworks is unsurpassed for creating and optimizing web images, for rapidly building-out robust web page mock-ups and prototyping websites, and for its outstanding integration with other Adobe products. Dreamweaver is renowned as a world-class web page design tool that allows designers or developers to work with an intuitive visual layout interface or in a streamlined coding environment.
Through hands-on exercises, explore and learn how to use each tool`s capabilities and, more importantly, how to create great looking web pages and an optimum web design workflow that will save you time and frustration.
Lisa Lopuck is a well-known expert on interactive design. With a career that traces back to the Apple Multimedia Lab back in 1992, she has been a pioneer on the forefront of interactive design, helping to establish many of the interactive conventions in use today. In 1996, Lopuck left Clement Mok designs to co-found Electravision, one of the first web design agencies in San Francisco. Electravision`s award-winning work - including some of the first online entertainment works - earned her national recognition. Her first book, Designing Multimedia, was a best seller and started Lopuck on a speaking career. Since 1997, she has spoken at web design conferences around the world. She has written six books on interactive design, and is currently updating her best-selling Web Design for Dummies. Lopuck is also an accomplished watercolor artist, recently earning her Signature membership in the National Watercolor Association.
