Do you think that only professionals with expensive tools and years
of experience can work with web graphics? This guide tosses that
notion into the trash bin. "Painting the Web" is the first
comprehensive book on web graphics to come along in years, and
author Shelley Powers demonstrates how readers of any level can
take advantage of the graphics and animation capabilities built
into today's powerful browsers. She covers GIFs, JPEGs, and PNGs,
raster and vector graphics, CSS, Ajax effects, the canvas objects,
SVG, geographical applications, and more - everything that
designers (and non-designers) use to literally paint the Web. More
importantly, Shelley's own love of web graphics shines through in
every example. Not only can you master the many different
techniques, you also can have fun doing it.Topics in "Painting the
Web" include: GIF, JPEG, PNG, lossy versus lossless compression,
color management, and optimization; photo workflow, from camera to
web page, including a review of photo editors, workflow tools, and
RAW photo utilities; tricks for best displaying your photos online;
non-photographic raster images (icons and logos), with step-by-step
tutorials for creating popular "Web 2. 0" effects like reflection,
shiny buttons, inlays, and shadows; vector graphics; an SVG
tutorial, with examples of all the major components; tips and
tricks for using CSS; interactive effects with Ajax such as
accordions and fades; the canvas object implemented in most
browsers; geographical applications such as Google Maps and Yahoo
Maps, with programming and non-programming examples; visual effects
such as forms and data displays in table or graphics; and web
design for the non-designer.Graphics are not essential to the web
experience, but they do make the difference between a site that's
functional and one that's lively, compelling, and exciting. Whether
you want to spruce up a website, use photos to annotate your
stories, create hot graphics, or provide compelling displays for
your data, this is the book for you.
