In Amanda Hackwith’s latest book Web Design Confidential, you’ll get expert advice and extensive industry insights based on the survey results from a study of over 5,400 web designers from all over the world, and several interviews with seasoned designers.
If you’re looking for the latest web design practices, words of wisdom from design veterans, or just a better understanding of your profession, then this is the book for you.
Hi, I’m Amanda, the author of Web Design Confidential. After writing my previous book, Freelance Confidential, I found myself thinking about another industry that means a lot to me: web design.
I’ve worked for ten years in the design industry, both as a freelancer and employee of large companies, and as the former manager of GraphicRiver, I had the opportunity to work with and get to know a countless number of designers from all over the world.
Like every designer, I spend a lot of my time trying to keep up on new practices. I’m always curious about what other designers are doing and how I can do my job better.
Who wouldn’t want to peer over the shoulder of other designers and see what they’re doing? Who hasn’t wanted to pick the brains of some of the popular names in web design and get the inside scoop? How valuable would that be for your own career? So that’s what I did!
In Web Design Confidential, we take a look at what over 5,000 global web designers had to say in the 2011 Web Design Survey hosted by WebDesignTuts+. We look at who we are, how we work, what we know, and our opinions on what exactly makes a top-notch web designer. Some of the results might surprise you.
For instance, did you know…
We also get the experts to weigh in. You’ll hear from Vitaly Friedman of Smashing Magazine, Sarah Parmenter of You Know Who Design, Veerle of Duoh!, top-selling ThemeForest template designers like Kreisi and Cudazi, and others. They’ve kindly shared advice that comes from years of experience and cuts to the chase about how to improve your design career.
During the process of digging through thousands of survey responses and chatting with the top names in our field, I’ve learned a lot about our industry. I think you will too.
Join me and get the confidential scoop from the web design industry.
Learn Techniques for Hand Drawn Boards, Flash Animatics, or Adobe Premiere Movies – 4 Hours of Tutorials!
Session 1: Hand-Drawn Boards and Flash Animatics
This session will show you how two storyboard artists approach their craft: working in Photoshop to draw and using Flash to create an animatic.
Topics covered include….
– Working off a script
– Camera Positioning and Composition
– Referencing Character Models
– Tips for Working in Photoshop or Paper
– Cleaning up hand-drawn boards
– Showing Movement
– Adding Line Weight, Depth, and Shadows
– Balancing between details and deadlines
– Maintaining continuity between shots
– Being aware of the tangent
– Anticipating how the animators might work with the characters
– Making your shots “readable” and simple for the animators
– Time saving techniques for similar shots
– Applying the rule of thirds
– Setting up an animatic with audio in Flash
– And tips on what’s expected of you as a professional storyboard artist
This session is taught by two instructors, David Carbley and Rachel Anchors, who are both professional storyboard artists at Spark-Flow Studios using materials from the animated web series Pumpk & Cham and Pai.
Session 2: Polished Animatics Using Adobe Premiere
This session, headed by Christopher Wade of Spark-Flow Studios, shows you the basics in non-linear editing. Animation, Film and Video Production all require editors in some way, shape or form. And if you just so happen to have the Adobe Production Suite, you have a prime opportunity to learn Adobe Premiere (its probably in your Applications folder already). And since most editing programs today have similar interfaces and conventions, learning Adobe Premiere can prepare you to work in other non-linear editing software, such as Final Cut or After Effects.
This tutorial comes with storyboard Jpg’s, voice log audio clips, additional final animation clips and after the tutorial is completed we propose two assignments using these source files…
Assignment #1
Your task is of course is provide a play-by-play of the listed shots as they appear on the storyboard using the boarded delivery elements. This includes inserting audio and using the Text Processor in Premiere to create a location title. You can also try making on-screen credits while minding the Title Safe!
Assignment #2
Now you can connect the final videos together as stated in the storyboards with the audio delivered from your download and also from other sources for sound effects. You could check FreeSoundProject.com or even Flashkit for some sounds. Background noise, animal noises, you name it. Make the scene your own! Explore how different ambience can change the mood of the scene to something much more frightening.
Eight Hour Multi-Session Course on How to Illustrate Pin-Up Style Spokes Models!
Session 1: How to Draw the Head
Runtime: 3 Hours (with a 24 Minute Intro to SketchBook Pro)
Disney and Pixar-trained illustrator & animator Paris Christou teaches this fantastic eight hour course on how to draw and color the female form in elaborate detail. His practice subject is Cherry, a creation of his that has gained internet notoriety as an iconic cartoon model.
Paris will teach you the finer points of illustrating your own spokes-model or “pin up girl” which you could use for a variety of marketing needs: eye-popping email campaigns, website ads, a hostess who explains features of a game or application, and of course she could be a traditional pinup girl on a print poster or calendar for your company.
This course has been divided into sessions, with the first one focusing on the head. Before beginning though, you can watch an intro course on SketchBook Pro IF you want to draw in the same program as Paris.
Session Outline:
– Drawing the eye from different angles
– How to convey different moods with just the eye
– Drawing the lips from various angles with tips on cheek placement
– Drawing the nose and the importance of shadow
– Basic head shapes
– How to draw different hair styles
– How to put the facial features and hairstyle together with expressions
This video also includes an incredible real-time (non time lapsed) observation session where Paris draws various faces and hair styles with an ambient background audio track. You can practice along with Paris at your own pace during this part.
Session 2: The Body
Runtime: 3 Hours and 8 Minutes
This session Paris teaches what every good cartoon pin-up girl has in common: an enticing body shape with perfectly crafted arms, legs, hands and feet. And as every student of the female form knows, those extremities are often the hardest parts to draw correctly. An odd looking hand or foot can ruin an otherwise great pose. So Paris pays special attention to teaching those parts as well as the more curvaceous aspects of his model.
By the end of this session Paris draws 64 full body poses in real-time along with MANY more close up views of the hands, feet, arms and legs
Session Outline:
– How to draw the basic body shapes
– An anatomical breakdown of the body in side and front view
– How to draw the hands
– How to draw the feet
– How to draw the arms and legs
– How to draw the following pin-up poses listed below…
– 15 Standing Poses
– 14 Sitting Poses
– 12 Reclining Poses
– 14 Kneeling Poses
– 9 Back-view Poses
Session 3: Illustrating and Coloring the Finished Piece
Runtime: 2 Hours and 13 Minutes
This session creates the final masterpiece, which is obviously the expertly shaded image of Cherry you see adorning our sales page here. She does help advertise the product doesn’t she? And that aspect of this course shouldn’t overlooked. Creating a gorgeous spokes-woman to sell your product or pitch your idea is a great final goal for this session.
Session Outline:
– Putting everything together to sketch our final piece
– Creating the line-art
– Intro to Blending in Sketchbook Pro
– Coloring the line-art with technique #1
– Coloring the line-art with technique #2

This book is available now as part of Tuts+ Premium. As a member, you’ll also receive Jeffrey Way’s in-depth video course, HTML5 Fundamentals and 20 top-selling Rockable eBooks! Join Tuts+ Premium for $19/mo.
In Decoding HTML5 , Jeffrey Way dives straight in and delivers something that the every day designer or developer can immediately pick up and understand!
This book focuses less on the politics of HTML5 (though it does touch on this), and more on the ways to immediately integrate HTML5 —and its friends—into your web projects.
If you’re in need of a book that will get you up and running with many of the new tags, form elements, and JavaScript APIs as quickly as possible, then this is the book for you.
Jeffrey Way is one of the most popular web development teachers on the net. He is the editor of Nettuts+, author of two top-selling books, and is the Head of Web Development Courses at Tuts+ Premium.
Join Jeffrey as he jumps in and starts Decoding HTML5 .
Hi, I’m Jeffrey, the author of Decoding HTML5 . I’m a web developer who has been diving into the HTML5 spec for years. Toying with new JavaScript APIs is like Christmas for me!
When I set out to write this book, I had one goal in mind: decipher that incredibly confusing spec into something that any John Q. designer or developer can understand. It’s what I wish I had in the beginning.
Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I wish there was somebody who could sit next to me and make me understand this code…because I don’t!” I’ve been in that position countless times.
Well, if you can relate, I think this book just might do the trick. Rather than using high level jargon that no beginner could possibly understand, I’ve done my best to break these complicated concepts into chunks that everyone can grasp.
Learn how HTML5 came to be…HTML5! You’ll learn about the politics and history, as well as the difference between all of those confusing acronyms, like W3C , WHAT WG, and HTML WG .
You’ve likely heard various reports that HTML5 won’t be “ready” until 2022. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, HTML5 is ready to use…right now!
Before we can learn about the semantic new tags that are available, we must first learn what to remove, and how to ensure that Internet Explorer 8 and below still get to play with the cool kids. Once we’ve stripped all unnecessary content and attributes, we can shift our focus to the new elements.
The Selectors API introduces two new ways to query the DOM . Now we can use the CSS selectors that we’re already familiar with to dive into the DOM . JavaScript library users will feel right at home!
In the past, we often resorted to random element attributes for the purposes of containing, or storing data. It wouldn’t be uncommon to “communicate” with a script, via a class attribute. A smarter solution is to take advantage of HTML5 custom attributes.
Perhaps a bit ironically titled, this chapter will focus on all of the new HTML5 elements and attributes that are available to us. I know, I know; forms are boring. Luckily, HTML5 makes them — not fun — but less boring! If you’ve ever found yourself setting default placeholder text, performing client-side validation, or using date picker plugins, you’ve no doubt had first-hand experience with the limitations of the browser. Though it’s taking a bit longer than we might hope, browsers are beginning to come around, with Opera and Webkit leading the pack.
While ultimately I will recommend that you use a tool called Modernizr to perform feature tests, it’s certainly important to understand how it’s done manually. Abstractions are fantastic — just as long as you have a modest idea what’s going on behind the scenes. This chapter details the essentials of manually performing feature detection.
Performing feature detection manually isn’t always a walk in the park. Once you factor in all browsers, both desktop and mobile based, you end up with a host of false positives and bugs. Modernizr’s entire reason for existing is to take care of this tedious work for you! This chapter outlines the essentials of working with the library.
Native media is easily one of the most flashy and press-worthy new additions to HTML . We now have the ability to provide native audio and video playback in the browser. No longer must we rely on buggy, browser-crashing third party tools, like Flash. Right? Well, sort of, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Sometimes, when we read the acronym, “API,” we immediately assume a certain level of complexity. But luckily, HTML5 geolocation is incredibly simple. Don’t believe me? It only takes a few lines of code to get started. Ironically, the bulk of your time will be spent focusing less on geolocation and more on third party tools such as the Google Maps API .
Canvas is an incredibly powerful new 2D drawing tool in HTML5 that will very likely revolutionize the landscape of web applications in the future. While a true review of the API requires an entire book, this chapter will detail the essentials.
You’ll be happy to hear that local storage is incredibly easy to understand. It allows us to store key-value pairs for future use. Unlikes sessions or cookies, local storage is considered by the browser to be long term. It’s as plain and simple as that. By implementing this natively in the browser, we now have access to an easy-to-use, standardized API . I’ll show you exactly how to work with it in this chapter.
One of the earliest criticisms of AJAX was that it made it difficult to save state. For example, if we asynchronously pull in some set of data when a link is clicked, the user will not have the ability to link specifically to that state of the page. This has long since been fixed by clever developers, however, now, with the updated HTML5 History API , we can rely on a native solution to remedy this issue — at least within the browsers which support it.
Before HTML5 , we had no standardized way to work with a user’s local file system. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case. We now have the ability to read, validate, and modify a file’s contents—just as long as the user takes an active role in the process. This chapter will outline the process of working with both the File and the Drag and Drop APIs.
What I mean by this is that you can think of web workers in the same way that you think of ants. Still confused? That’s okay; it’ll all make sense by the end of this chapter.
More important than every HTML5 book ever written is the people and tools that push it forward. Consider this to be the obligatory round-up chapter.
An easy to customize XCode Project plus high definition video tutorial documentation
Sling shot games are quite popular in the App Store aren’t they? Well why not ride that wave and create your own popular app. This template is ready for you to make a great game out of it. All thats required is a bit of time on your part to build some fantastic levels and add your own artistic twist. We’ve done the hard part. Now you get to do the fun part!
Some Basics about the App Template:
– Runs at 60fps on the iPhone 4, iPhone3GS, iPod Touch and iPad.
– Supports high resolution images for the Retina Display iPhone.
– Preference settings for the iPad or iPhone (for example, you can change things like the stack location, screen pan speed, throw power of the sling shot, etc by changing simple variables)
Uses Box2D, an advanced physics engine for realistic collisions (the same as another well-known sling shot game) We like the physics as they are, but you are welcome to toy with gravity, the accelerometer, or any other property to drastically change the game.
– Supports as many levels as you want to build.
– The in-game Menu will show 10 sections, and each section can have multiple levels. Players will have to complete all levels in a section before the menu unlocks that section to jump to.
– Level progress is saved in the NSUserDefaults. So even if the game quits, players will have a variable saved for the number of levels they have completed.
– High scores are also saved in NSUserDefaults
– You can set the number of characters to toss per level and how much score is required to pass the level.
– You can set bonuses per level for the number of characters that haven’t been used to pass the level.
– You can change the layers of background art on a per level basis. The clouds, hills, and ground plane are all separate scrolling pieces of art.
– Drop in your own .mp3 files for sound fx or background music.
– Includes three sound preferences which get saved even if the player quits the game. So players can enable or disable Sound FX, Voice FX, or Ambient FX ( or Background Music )
The Extra Special Cool Features….
This wouldn’t be a “Cartoon” Smart Template if we didn’t add some easy ways to make this game really come alive with your own art and animation.
Here’s some of the artistic highlights…
– It is incredibly easy to add a variety of shapes to your level’s stack with built in vector definitions for the collision environment. For example: squares, triangles, circles, trapezoids, parallelograms, hexagons, octagons, pentagons are preset properties for your stack object. Wanna know more?
– Includes two animated impact FX that can be played anytime a stack object breaks (you can add as many more as you like). Different FX animations can be applied to different objects or enemies.
– Supports custom break animatiosn for stack objects or enemies. So if you want to include even more animation for a specific object breaking apart you can.
– Stacks are incredibly easy to build. We recommend using an art program like Flash or Photoshop to design your stack then just copy the center x and y locations of each object into XCode.
– Two lines of very easy code add each stack object or enemy to the stack. All your properties for the object are defined in one line. Usually YES or NO values for options like: breaksFromNinja , hasAnimatedBreakFrames, damagesEnemy, breaksOnGround, makeImmovable.
– Every Stack Object or Enemy can have a custom point value.
– You can add as many different slingshot characters as you like, depending on level or the order they get thrown in.
– Slingshot characters have different artwork frames for poses like “standing in line to be thrown”, “blinking” , “in air”, “roll”, “roll and impact”, or “on the ground”. You can add as many different poses as you like and choose when they appear.
– Enemies can have damage factors. So it may take more than one collision with a ninja or stack object to damage the enemy enough to be destroyed. In our demo video you’ll notice the enemy gets a bandage or two after being collided.
– Enemies can also have separate animated frames for breaking (for example, the enemy in the template disintegrates )
– Choose between embedded images or a font for the post-object break Scores (which float above the object that broke). Currently the template uses images for scores in values of 100,500,1000, 5000 and 10000.
– About our Art. We are reserving the right to use the included ninja’s and background images in a version of the app we may submit to the App Store one day. So please make significant changes to those elements prior to submitting your version to the Store.

In Getting to Know SEO , content analyst and SEO expert Andre Kibbe gives you a solid grasp of what SEO is all about, and how it can help you generate steady and sustainable traffic to your site or product.
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO , is one of the most powerful tools you can use to get traffic to your (or your client’s) website.
As you progress through the book, you’ll learn about structuring a website for SEO , the importance of keywords, research and strategy, link building, and understanding backlinks.
By the time you reach the final page, you’ll be equipped to use SEO personally and professionally to give your websites an edge against the competition.
Hi, I’m Andre, and in my new book Getting to Know SEO , I drill down into the basics of keyword research and how to incorporate your high-leverage keywords into your content.
Whether you have a blog or an e-commerce site, you need to have a keyword strategy that accounts for what’s visible on the page, and what’s baked into your site’s HTML .
You’ll find out how editing the title tag of a web page can make a huge difference, and how to compare the commercial value of dozens of keywords using a spreadsheet and a formula that projects the potential AdSense earnings each keyword would bring in with a #1 ranking.
One thing you won’t get from Getting to Know SEO is a dump of questionable SEO theory and tips. Genuine SEO isn’t an overnight phenomenon. It’s simple, but not easy.
If you’re willing to do the work of writing and editing your content to be keyword compliant, and do some link building, you can get the most sustainable, qualified traffic available: search traffic.
If you’re serious about using SEO to drive traffic to your site and you’re unsure of how to get started, then my book can help you.
Here’s what I cover in each chapter:
Content + Links = SEO :
The particulars of SEO might change from moment to moment, but the two pillars of SEO —content and links—remain unchanged. We’ll discuss how the content on your web pages need to closely match what is being typed into a search engine, meaning that it needs to have “relevancy”. More importantly, it needs to have links from other websites to be recognized as an authority source, which give the content “authority”. Authority depends on the number of links received and the text used in those links.
The Importance of Keywords:
The biggest flaw in the “just write good content” argument from an SEO perspective is writers’ frequent misunderstanding of how search engines recognize content, which often requires more literal wording to be indexed under a particular search term. You’ll learn how a few simple changes in the wording of your page copy to focus on keywords (the phrases people type into search engines) can have dramatic effects on search engine rankings.
Keyword Research Explained:
Once the effects of keywords choices are understood, you need a strategy for picking out better keywords. We’ll take a look at the Google AdWords Keyword Tool, used to generate and compare hundreds of keyword ideas by showing you their search frequency and cost-per-click (CPC).
On-Page Optimization:
By learning a handful of simple HTML concepts, you’ll understand how to optimize your web pages for search engines. On-page SEO involves placement of keywords in certain HTML elements: the title tag, the meta description tag, the anchor text used in links, the alt-text used in photos, and so on.
Understanding Backlinks:
Due to Google’s revolutionary PageRank algorithm, links unquestionably play the most important role in a web page’s position in search engines. You’ll learn the main factors that determine the quantity and quality of the links you can attract naturally, and the ones that can be built… less naturally.
Getting Links:
Link building is the hardest part of SEO . We’ll take a look at some of the safest and most reliable techniques for getting links.
Understanding Competition:
Some market niches are more competitive than others, and within a particular niche, some keywords are more competitive than others. Evaluating the competitiveness of the keywords you’re planning to target is critical. Competitive analysis will show you how to find keywords that you can rank for in a couple of weeks, rather than several months. You’ll find other keywords that, however seductive, are simply too competitive to spend time targeting.
Sharpening the Saw:
As mentioned, SEO is a rapidly changing field due to Google’s frequent algorithm updates. We’ll take a look at a handful of highly respected websites that provide great information on current best practices.
The video is 1200×900 resolution, so you can see everything that’s going on (preview is widescreen) clearly and in detail.
In the video, I’ll guide you through taking a plain looking photo of a baby, and just adding a little more “oomf” to it, bringing out the details, and making it stand out from the crowd, while avoiding looking overly manipulated and cheesy.
You do not need to be a Photoshop Genius to follow this tutorial! All techniques are covered in sufficient depth, for those relatively new to retouching.
Along with the video, you also get the exact same image that have been worked in the video, so you can follow the tutorial in exact detail!
Note: Included PSD file is lower resolution than worked on in the video, due to file size constraints.
