Web Design is a course centered on the Macromedia Dreamweaver program. A course in the Photoshop program before taking this course is strongly recommended.

The first few weeks are spent reviewing Photoshop fundamentals while completing an interesting but difficult computer graphics project.

Then Four weeks are devoted to the Imageready web file program. This gives students knowledge in optimizing their graphics for best results on the internet and how to animate their files, do creative rollovers, and slice their images for best results on the world-wide web.

Students will then begin to learn and use the Dreamweaver program t0 develop their own websites on the internet and create their own art and graphics for that site. They will be changing and reworking thier websites as they learn new techniques. As their skills develop, their website will become more visually interesting and interactive. Along the way students will learn basic html and file transfer protocol, while applying knowledge of the Art Elements and the Fundamentals of Design

In the second semester students will learn supplemental programs which will allow them to further enhance their websites such as Macromedia Flash (basics) and Mac Anfy.
