The first article I read was over the common mistakes that are made by print designers
transitioning to web design.The article was ingeniusly titled as a letter.Dear print designer
doing web design.Very nice.The author states that not all print to web designers are set up for failure and lists several that have transitioned smoothly and gone on to great things,Jason Santa Maria is one example.The article covers the important points of web verses print, resoloution, typography ,viewport,PSD layers and then some unfamiliar terms like vertical pixel prescision,vertical grids,non interaction. Which really sound very sci-fi E.T. to me.After this class I'm sure I'll be more familiar.What I took away from this article is to remember web is 72,there are limited fonts unless you embed,clean up your layers, name and group your layers, and an interesting bit about web safe colors being a thing of the past.Which makes me happy since thats one less thing for me to mess up on. Finally it listed additional reading material, which I intend to take full advantage of to minimize the chance of humiliation.
