- DESIGNER'S CLUB GIF IMAGES USER'S GUIDE
- ---------------------------------------
- All documentation assumes you have a basic understanding of how to use your
- computer and the programs you have purchased for it, and how to create 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 folder called "Web Images."
-
- 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.
-
- NUMBERING SYSTEM
- -----------------
- Designer's Club has changed its numbering system due to the greater number of
- files now on disk.
- Each GIF image file will have a number "001" through to "032." This will repeat
- itself for
- each monthly issue.
- "A" following the number means it can be used on any background (for
- example,001A9801.GIF).
- "B" following the number means it can be used on a black background
- (for example,001B9801.GIF).
- "W" following the number means it can be used on a white background
- (for example,001W9801.GIF).
-
- "A" preceding the number means it is animated. (For example, A01A9801.GIF
- would be an animated file that could be used on any background;
- A01B9801.GIF would be an animated file that could be used on a black
- background.)
- The "9801" at the end of the file name is the year and month.
-
- When searching for images in the Fetch catalog, if you know you're designing on
- a black background, you may, for example, type BLACK BACKGROUND as a keyword.
- Then press "Find" to view the thumbnails fitting that description.
-
- SEE THE ANIMATED IMAGES IN ACTION
- ----------------------------------
- To see how the images have been animated, open the folder titled with the
- month/year followed by HTML (for example: 0198HTML represents the Jan. 98
- folder). You will see a document titled: DC0198.HTM. If you have Netscape
- Navigator, you may simply double click the file to open it. From the FILE menu
- of Internet Explorer select LOAD FILE to open that file. In other Web browser
- programs, follow your normal procedures for opening html documents. You will
- then be presented with an animated index of all six images.
-
