Interface Design with Photoshop provides a designer's guide to creating professional-quality graphic elements for Web pages and multimedia output. The book starts with a discussion of interface elements, working with palettes, and reducing image size and color depth. Topics include a guide to creating and editing buttons, palette optimization, and the use of techniques such as beveling, embossing, and creating textures. You'll also learn how to create the look of, say, chrome and glass; create funky borders; distort your images; and adapt vector and 3D images for Web and multimedia projects. The book assumes that you know Photoshop well and that you're a designer, but that you still haven't entirely mastered the art of combining all of Photoshop's filters and color effects that help you create great-looking graphics.
