Description This tiny tutorial contains basic tips on designing graphics for custom journal on deviantART. It was written for people who don't know much about CSS (if they did, they would know everything from this tutorial already). Please note: it assumes that CSS work would be done by someone who knows what they are doing and it does not warn against some solutions that might require advanced coding.

I wrote this for *amateur-manips club They're holding their first CSS contest now

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Mam dzisiaj jakieś wyjątkowe szczęście do Polek. Co wlezę w jakąś pracę, to okazuje się, że polska.
Ale Ty jesteś pierwszą osobą, z którą nie próbuję rozmawiać po angielskiemu po prostu z czystej niewiedzy na temat pochodzenia.

Nie dałoby się czegoś podobnego zrobić po polsku? Bo widzę, że bardzo fajnie to napisałaś, ale kiedy przychodzi do czytania tekstów "specjalistycznych" (a takimi już dla mnie - laika komputerowego - są kody internetowe), potrafię czytać coś takiego godzinę i zrozumieć połowę.

Czuję się zaszczycona.

Hm, spróbuję o.O Mam nadzieję, że jakieś pozostałości z angielskiego nie będą przeszkadzały? ^^' Nie znam polskiego słownictwa do tego, jakkolwiek dziko to brzmi XD
Gdybyś tylko mogła mi przypomnieć notką - nie będzie mnie przez weekend i może mi wylecieć z mej kurzej pamięci - nawet teraz, to taka nieprzeczytana będzie tkwiła cały czas na widoku

Masz anielskiego Photoshopa? Łoł... Ja tylko Image Ready, ale z niego nie korzystam, bo właściwie to to samo, co PS, tylko ma animacje i ciutek inne funkcje narzędzi.

Dhuaine In reply to Vrolok87 [2008-10-04 00:53:20 +0000 UTC]

PS mam po polsku, choć podobno da się go przestawić na angielski. Po prostu więcej siedzę w angielskim internecie, fora, porady, artykuły czy tutoriale o webdesignie... Nie przypominam sobie, żebym kiedykolwiek czytała je po polsku.
Nie grzebałam głęboko w IR, ale wydawało mi się, że tam są narzędzia tylko do obróbki grafy na www, nic do bardziej zaawansowanej grafiki. Wyleciały te specjalne pędzle korekty, blury, przyciemnienie i rozjaśnianie, kształty... albo ja nie mogę ich znaleźć. XD

Vrolok87 In reply to Dhuaine [2008-10-04 15:10:29 +0000 UTC]

Nie grzebałam szczególnie uważnie w IR. Nie do końca wiem, co tam jest, bo po prostu wolę PSa.

Dhuaine In reply to Vrolok87 [2008-10-04 15:56:32 +0000 UTC]

Ja IR używam tylko i wyłącznie do cięcia grafiki na www. Może ze dwa razy strzeliłam w tym animacje. Biedne, opuszczone IR XD
