The premise of my presentation was to show an overview of the process between layout in Illustrator and PhotoShop to coding in HTML and CSS. I find that web design is often segmented between the coders and graphic designers. I propose that the best outcome can come from bridging that gap. I do this in my daily workplace and try to show tips and techniques for others to bridge that gap. The time slot was only a half hour, so I could not go into coding detail, but only point to tutorials via links.

You can view the Graphic Web Design and Cascading Style Sheets PowerPoint (431KB) or view the presentation in HTML. Some support images and all sites discussed can be found on Delicious (theses are notated by “{link}” within the presentation).

It depresses me to click through most of these. I average clicking five or so. They are all text/information heavy and 90% look like prepackaged themes of blue, black and white. I realize that I’m posting from a blog with the default WordPress theme, Kubrick, but I’m NOT selling anything except myself. My blogs are still in a personal phase–I don’t even have a domain for each of my blogs except the poetry knook.
