 his is
an introductory class that shows you how to dress up your WWW
pages with graphics. It is concerned not so much with the creation of
graphic images as with their acquisition, modification, and incorporation
in WWW pages.
It concentrates on simple, but complete, examples which take you in a
largely hands-on, step-by-step process from paper, electronic
images, or digital camera,
to their final placement on your WWW page.
What You Will Learn
pecifically, it introduces you to graphics concepts, such as the
design guidelines of Edward Tufte, image size, resolution,
colors, graphic file formats, graphic file conversions, and
incorporating graphics into your HTML; acquisition and
enhancement of graphics from scanners, from the Web, and from
digital cameras; other graphic properties, such as thumbnails,
colors, backgrounds, and transparencies; how to manipulate,
modify, or create graphic images through moderate cost systems
such such as Microsoft Image Composer (a part of FrontPage) and
PaintShop Pro, as well as the more expensive PhotoShop, and
pointers to additional graphics resources.
Major topics covered in this class include the following:
- Graphics Design Based on Edward Tufte's Principles
- Setting up your First Web Page
- Acquiring Graphics From the Web Itself
- Acquiring Graphics from Scanners and Digital Cameras
- Graphics File Formats and Graphic File Conversion
