Description
In this course I will show you how to design a pixel-perfect, beautiful website design using the Adobe photo editing (Photoshop) and vector editing (Illustrator) applications – I will also show you how to do most of the same with the free tool GIMP.
This course would be extremely useful for graphic designers and web designers who want to show their clients exactly what they'll get before they start developing the website.
Are you worried that you won't be able to deliver on the development of this website afterwards? Well, don't worry!
Because I will show you the tricks to change beautiful WordPress themes (we use the Genesis sample child theme) in a browser using Developer Tools that will be then be easy to develop after client has passed the design.
After taking this course, you will have learned the following:
- How to keep the Photoshop layers and elements in order and label them correctly
- How to group layers to further organise your layers in the layer palette
- How to use vectors (live text, shape layers and vector smart object) wherever possible – as resizing them won't lose you any quality or resolution
- How to use vector smart objects because they won't lose you any quality after resizing either and you have the added advantage of editing one and all the others changing accordingly
- How to select multiple layers in the layer palette
- How, with multiple layers selected with the Move tool (V), you can distribute and align the objects by using the buttons in the option bar at the top
By the time the course is finished you will be able to work up an exact visual replica of any website, mobile app, tablet app or any sort of digital interface that you care to imagine.
