Download or read book Responsive Web Design With Adobe Photoshop written by Dan Rose and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book is aimed at the visual Web design student who is accustomed to working in Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop CC contains many new features that help streamline the process of converting a static page design to a set of components for a responsive web page. It balances coverage of conceptual issues (how to fit tools like Photoshop to the design workflow rather than fitting a workflow to the tools) with practical design exercises tailored to help communicate the overall design direction of the page while respecting the needs of the fluid Web. In addition, the author introduces methods for taking HTML back into Photoshop for further refinement. Dan Rose is one of the best-known advocates of this new way of working in Photoshop. He's observed that only a few people are talking about Photoshop for RWD constructively, yet a majority (63% as of his last informal poll) of web designers are using Photoshop for more than simple asset creation. This transition is a pain point for many designers.
