Conceptual Lessons Before jumping into instructions, in-depth comprehensive conceptual information tells students “why” skills are applied. This book provides the “how” and “why” through the use of professional examples. Also included in the text are tips and sidebars to help students work more efficiently and creatively, or to teach the history or design philosophy behind the skill they are using.
Tools You'll Use Each chapter begins with a visual overview of the tools that will be used in the chapter.
What You'll Do Each lesson starts with a What You’ll Do figure. This figure gives students an at-a-glance look at what’s to come in the chapter and a detailed description of the following lesson.
Step-by-Step Instructions Lessons walk through each process, step by step with detailed images, icons, tips and notes.
Skills Review • The Skills Review contains hands-on practice exercises that mirror the progressive nature of the lesson material and provides a concise review of all of the Dreamweaver skills learned in the chapter. • Each set of steps guides students through a brief lesson where they will create, modify, or enhance a project file. • The data Files for the steps are provided on the back of book CD.
Project Builder Two Project Builder activities offer a cumulative review where students create a finished piece of work. Examples of the finished projects are shown with the project steps so the student can compare their work to the finished project shown in the book, making it easy to see and fix their mistakes.
Design Project • A Design Project is featured at the end of each chapter. The Design Project tests the student’s ability to design a piece of finished work. • The student’s work will not look exactly the same as the image in the book as students are encouraged to take artistic license in creating their work.
Portfolio Project • Portfolio Projects are included at the end of each chapter and encourage students to solve challenges based on the content explored in the chapter. • These projects differ from other projects and lessons in the text because strategies and methods for achieving the finished product are suggested rather than following a step-by-step approach. This method allows students to utilize skills learned in the book and pick up some new tips and tricks along the way.
