Photoshop - Animation practice files: 1 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 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 show make 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 file slices: export slices pages: current page check 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 states name 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 files uncheck 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 image browse for image > choose over state add another behavior > this time choose down image then change it to onMouseDown in list to left of behavior (click on blue arrows to see list) - save and preview in browser
