DESIGNER'S CLUB WEB FILES USER'S GUIDE
--------------------------------------
All documentation assumes you have a basic understanding of how to use your computer,
the programs you have purchased for it, and the process of creating Web pages.
Each Designer's Club issue will now include 32 images in GIF format for use on the
World Wide Web. Six of these files will be animated GIF images. These images are
found in a directory called "WEBFILES."
Each issue will include a mix of small images, perfect for buttons, and larger images
for spot art. Web-safe colors assure clean color on Mac or PC - no dithering, no
color shifts. File sizes and palettes are minimized for fast downloading.
Each image has up to three versions: one that can be used on any background, one
optimized for a white background, and when appropriate for the style of the art, one
optimized for a black background. Full transparency means no unsightly background
box.
NAMING CONVENTIONS
------------------
"A" following the number means it can be used on any background
(for example, 00001A.GIF)
"B" following the number means it can be used on a black background
(for example, 00026B.GIF)
"W" following the number means it can be used on a white background
(for example, 00026W.GIF)
"A" preceding the number means it is animated
(for example, A00028A.GIF would be an animated file that could be used on any
background; A00028B.GIF would be an animated file that could be used on a black
background.)
SEE THE ANIMATED IMAGES IN ACTION
---------------------------------
To see how the images have been animated, open the HTML file for that month (for
example: DC0597.HTM). This file is located in the \WEBFILES\MMYYHTML\ directory
(where MMYY represents the CD month and year). In Microsoft Internet Explorer, go
to the FILE menu and select OPEN. In Netscape Navigator go to the FILE menu and
select OPEN FILE IN BROWSER. If you are using a browser other than Explorer or
Navigator, follow your normal procedures for opening HTML documents. You will then
be presented with an animated index of all six images.
COPYRIGHT GUIDELINES
--------------------
The use of the artwork, from disc or index, in whole or in part without written
permission - for multiple resale in the form of stock proofs, engravings, film, mats,
printing, digitized images, etc. - is expressly denied. Any resemblance to specific
individuals, living or dead, is purely coincidental (except where noted). No
testimonials are implied or intended by such similarities.
