If you were just coming off my last post, I am assuming by now you have a copy of Dreamweaver CS4.  You do?  Great! Because now the fun starts!  In this first part of the tutorial I will introduce you the Dreamweaver working environment.  Now, take it easy, don’t think I’m sounding to “Tech Savvy” yet, this is just an intro and given the nature of my tutorial, I will take it really slow and clearly explain in great detail the finer points of the great peace of software.

Hi all!  Welcome back to 1142degrees.  Today I will be starting a long overdue tutorial on website design.  This will be an extensive tutorial that will have many parts.  Basically, this tutorial will revolve around software that I have been using for years that has proven to be one of the industry’s top web design software, and that is Adobe’s Dreamweaver CS4.  So for those of you who wants to follow this tutorial piously, I suggest you grab a copy of Dreamweaver cs4 if you don’t have one yet, else you can download a trial copy from the adobe website (  www.adobe.com )

Step 1. Open a new blank document using keyboard commands

• PC - Use Ctrl+N (Hold down the Ctrl key and tap the N key one time)
• Macintosh - Use Command+N (Hold down the Command key and tap the N key one time)

Step 2. Turn the document to landscape orientation. On a Macintosh go to the File menu, select Page Options, choose Orientation and select Landscape. On a PC go to the File Menu, select Page Setup, choose the Paper Size tab, and select Landscape as the orientation.

In this tutorial I hope to illustrate some of the process of logo design using Adobe Illustrator. However, I must stress, this is not so much a tutorial on the use of Adobe Illustrator as it is a way to show you one method of the "process" of refining an image to a corporate identity (logo) or stylized illustration.The basic process here could be applied to any application.
