1 - Photoshop and Animation … Introsample files in shared folderbackground images, transparent backgroundSave for web and devices…Animation Panel > view, framesFrame by Frame animation
- Tweens- Altering opacity, effects and postion
2 - Finish DW Gallery Website- fill out review sheet- make sure all files are in ONE folder and that
everything works before submitting/turning in
to server
3 - Work on Photoshop Animation Practice Files(listed on page 2 of ppt)
Photoshop - Animation practice files:
1. A frame-by-frame animation (using photoshop) (minimum 30 frames long - don’t do a bouncing
ball!)Make sure you have used layers/background or a scene of some kind in your animation
2. 3 separate animations using the 3 different tweens - position, opacity, layer styles (effects)(each of these only needs to be about 10 frames)
3. A rollover with an over and down (hit) state (using FW/DW)
4. A remote or disjoint rollover (use PS/FW/DW)be careful in naming of files!
Art for New Media
Steps to make a REMOTE or DISJOINT rollover -- create image in photoshop (use layers for states)- open in FW- slice active areas (any area that will have rollover behavior, including
“remote” area)- create states for each rollover area
for normal state, turn on visibility of all buttons, turn off visibility (eyeball in layers) of all remote area layers
copy normal state to make new states (so that all layers will be there)turn on visibility of remote area you wish to showmake change to button (ex. Filter in properties inspector - make sure your “button” layer is selected to add a filter)
- use behavior handle to create disjoint rollover (click and drag crosshair/handle to slice add swap image to slice (click on
behavior handle)select state that you will be swapping with current image
- save as png- file > export - make sure to select the following:export: HTML and images
html: html fileslices: export slicespages: current pagecheck only these boxes: include area w/o slices and
images in subfolder - open html file in dreamweaver
Steps to make a rollover with multiple states -- create image in photoshop (use layers for states)- open in FW- create states for each rollover behavior (off or normal, over and down)
copy normal state to maintain layers in all statesname each state (ex: coffee-off, coffee-over, and coffee-
down)- make changes to the states to show rollover image (turn on visibility of layer you want to show in each state)- save as png- file > export - make sure to select the following:
export: states to filesuncheck trim images box
- open a new dreamweaver file, save it- place image for off state (insert > image)- add rollover behavior > go to behaviors panel
add (click on plus sign) swap imagebrowse for image > choose over stateadd another behavior > this time choose down imagethen change it to onMouseDown in list to left of behavior
