Well, I've been doing some web design for the past couple of years without really using images or flash, but I figure it's time I get started. I would appreciate it if anyone could recommend to me some good photoshop and flash tutorials and how to integrate them into designs for beginners. Thanks

Take a look here, or just make a search for "flash tutorials" and "photoshop tutorials." There have been quite a few threads on this previously.

ya, those are good. For PS, http://www.goodtutorials.com http://www.tutorialized.com and http://www.pslover.com

 

[cutterofcloth]

Woot, thanks again guys, those should help a lot.

ya, lol, combined there are like 10,000 tuts prolly. Night time reading

 

[Mr. Websites]

I think the best way to learn is by playing around with previously completed website sources. Such can be found at FlashKit. I honestly hate learning from books and/or online tutorials, unless I have no other option.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

yes, you could spend all day at FK just looking at the stuff there and the libraries. You hate books? Ahh man, they are great :p

 

[Mr. Websites]

Not even. I can't stand most of them. It takes way too long to read through a 500 page book, and just reading through websites takes a toll on me.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

well, ya, cuz its on a monitor. But i can read a 500 page book in a day so... And ones that come with CD's are great. Anyone got a copyof the AS MX bible for cheap??

 

[cutterofcloth]

Hey that's a good idea, I think I'll be going to that Flashkit place tonight and doing as you suggested.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

carful, you could get lost :p

 

[Mr. Websites]

Yeah, there's enough junk of FlashKit (like Google). There's a few diamonds but they're hard to find.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

ya, i had a big list of favourites, but i lost it, it sucks, so now i gott go through all 1342342 movies, lol

 

[Mr. Websites]

Or could use their "search" feature, which barely works.
:lol:

www.flashkit.com
www.ultrashock.com
www.macromedia.com
www.tutorialized.com

There's a few for ya! I think some of these are cool.

 

[Mr. Websites]

UltraShock has an attractive design. I've always enjoyed it.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

yuck, imo, i dont think US is that good, i mean, there tuts are nice, but im just not digging the whole metal thing, idk why, lol. just doesnt work for me.

 

[Mr. Websites]

Nah, the intro's they come up with are nicely put together. I've never seen a resource with a design like that before. It's just a nice change from the usual FlashKit-type portals.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

thats true. you like Kirupa or as.org much? i think they are the best, forums wise.

 

[Mr. Websites]

You mean overall forum quality? I think WebDesignTalk/NamePros is the best!
