Disappointing 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book should be taken out of print if it hasn't already, it has some useful points but is sooo outdated that it might as well be used as a door stop because the information is much too old and based on much older versions of the software which has evolved beyond the book.
Either update the book, which may have been relevant when first published, or do buyers a favor and upload the stock to the second hand books market.

Fantastic Book 5 out of 5 stars.

I have very little knowledge on web design, the last page I built was with FrontPage 2000 and it was as basic and boring as possible. After going through this book I have made drastic improvements to the quality of my site and my comfort level with Dreamweaver has increased immensely!

If you are new to web design and want to learn how to create a web site from a basic picture all the way to getting the site uploaded to your host, this is the book for you.

Mastering Nothing 1 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

You will not be mastering in anything by reading this book. The book, basically, tell you where to find different funtions in the programs. You could accomplish that by looking around the program for a few days. When it comes to Layers, Frames, CSS, and other advanced topices this book will leave you high and dry. I don't even think that this book deserves the one star that I gave it. I want my money back.

Waste of time and money 1 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This book was an expensive mistake. After fighting my way through the Dreamweaver and Fireworks manuals, I discovered I really needed better help with the programs. These programs are highly rated but require some training or well written "how to" manuals. The manuals accompanying the programs do NOT qualify. This book didn't either. It is poorly organized and not intuitive at ALL. The authors really need to ask Webster the meaning of "user-friendly." I want my money back.

Editorial Review:

Dreamweaver is a cross-platform visual tool for professional Web site design. Fireworks is a graphics creation and optimization tool specially tailored to the Web and used together with Dreamweaver to create and optimize feature graphics, buttons, animated banners and so on. This text provides coverage of Fireworks and hands-on Dreamweaver tutorials which should enable the reader to get real experience using Dreamweaver's features. The CD includes tutorials, scripts, plug-ins and trial versions of Dreamweaver and Fireworks.

Helps you answer how-to questions you encounter on the job 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Mark Gatter, the author of Software Essentials for Graphic Designers, assumes that as a graphic designer, you may specialize in one of four areas of design which are website design, vector graphics, image editing and page layout. Therefore, you will probably concentrate on those software programs that will help you in your area. But eventually, you may take on a project that will require you to use some of those other software programs that you may have just glanced at in the past. So where do you turn? This quick reference book will help you answer those basic how-to questions you encounter on the job.

Gatter chose to concentrate on the seven most popular 2D graphic software programs; Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Acrobat and Quark QuartXPress. Each program is given its own chapter which begins with an overview of the program, what jobs it can be used for and how it differs from other design programs. The author tries to make the rest of the chapter as version independent as possible, which works to the readers advantage. Instead of concentrating on the new bells and whistles included in the latest version, he concentrates on the basic features which are included in any version. He hopes that by only teaching these basics skills, which are usually the skills you will need on most design projects, his readers will not be overwhelmed with information. Basically, he teaches you the skills you need to accomplish simple tasks with each of the seven software programs and gives you enough knowledge of the software to be ready to learn more advanced skills.

The CD contains the files used in the book and video tutorials that reinforce what you have learned. Mark Gatter has extensive experience in graphic design, web and print production and shares several tips throughout the book. He is also an instructor and the author of Getting It Right In Print: A Guide for Graphic Designers.
