>>Musings from an old person >>
As an illustrator and print graphic designer (from a time when there was no ‘web’ version of the profession), my first interest in creating web pages arose when I realized I could slice up a page-sized Photoshop image and carefully place all the slices into the cells of a table(!)
But alas, with dial-up internet hovering around the slow to incredibly slow mark, such pages were a novelty only, and had no place in the real internet world.
So I spent ten years learning HTML and CSS, and was soon creating fast loading – but graphically anaemic – sites at 640x480 or 800x600 resolutions, forever following the adage that the entire front page, graphics and all, should never exceed 32kb.
Suddenly, with arrival of speedy broadband and screens that are larger than the door on a toaster oven, I see the ‘sliced-up-Photoshop page’ format returning. Not only that, but with a proliferation of ‘PSD to HTML’ services around to take the load off code-wary designers, there’s no longer a need to learn any code whatsoever.
Or is there…?
Your comments please...?
