Recap Optimizing Images for The Web
Last session we covered many aspects/techniques related to optimizing your images for the web.
- Image Format Reference
- I forgot to show the excellent tool Imageoptim for further compressing your images
Image Processing & Image Renaming Tricks
In class we discussed a few different solutions for streamlining a photographers batch processing needs.
I have updated the Handy Utilities reference page for you here.
- A Better Finder Rename (http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/)
- Insanely quick and useful way to rename files and folders.
- Trial download available from the website, also available in the Mac App Store here.
- Dr (Russell) Brown's Image Processor Pro (http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html)
http://photoshopscaresme.com/new-version-russell-browns-image-processor-pro/
- Fantastic image processing extension for Photoshop/Bridge
- Direct link to download right here.
Reviewed Text and CSS Editors
- Quick solid overview on design and HTML editors are in a few of the slides here
- Tools of the Trade: Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Textmate, Sublime
The web inspector within your web browser is an insanely useful design/develop tool.
- And then there is Espresso, for visual CSS/HTML editing
- Tools of the Trade: Espresso
We discussed three separate HTML & CSS tools that you should be familiar with for this Semester.
I have created a Text Editors reference page for you here.
Quick Refresher on HTML & CSS
Our first big task is to review HTML & CSS techniques in an effort to get everybody more comfortable hacking away at their websites.
Download the choppingblock / html-css-demos files from github.com here
- We reviewed the basic HTML tags:
- We reviewed the HTML tags used for styling regions of pages:
- I showed csszengarden.com and the possibilities that CSS can bring to your HTML sites.
- I showed how to format a basic page using Espresso.
Photography Site Building (CMS) Solutions
There was a time where a Photographer would build (or hire somebody to build) their website from scratch. Adding and removing content from these websites would require somebody to edit the HTML and upload the changes to a web server. Successful websites are no longer built like this... Content Management Systems (CMS) have redefined how the internet works. These tools are either hosted, or need to be installed on your webserver to run.
This week I introduced the class to the concept of Content Managed Solutions. We will be spending a lot of time looking at these options.
I have created a Site Building (CMS) Solutions reference page for you here.
