ok here's what I'm thinking of a layout for the course: 1. Design Theory - Typography theory, colour theory, usability theory and grid based design - I've a number of powerpoints, handouts and videos on this. 2. Design - Have the students re-design a website using a mockup a design in photoshop of a company website - first assignment 3. Design - Second assignment is to create a new design for a company based on a specification - have another student evaluate the design, give critical feedback and have first student re-design based on the feedback 4. HTML / CSS - 1st assignment is to plan out building their own portfolio website with wireframes etc. 5. HTML / CSS - 2nd assignment is to build their own portfolio website , and ensure is adheres to web standards and design principles so, what I need is a good set of notes / videos explaining grid based design using Photoshop, and then a continuation of this into building the websites in html/css

Thanks , I suppose what I'm trying to say is , somebody give me a big bundle of teaching resources so I don't have to spend the next two weeks preparing . Not that I'm lazy , I just do not see the point in reinventing the wheel when somebody else probably has already taught such a class.

It's a 12 week course , 9am to 4pm each day. First 5 weeks are graphics , then html /CSS for 5 weeks, then some careeer planning Yes I'm gonna start with file types , intro to Photoshop with manipulating photographs. But then I want to move onto design theory with exercises relating to web design. Then theres a project to redesign a bad site , then to plan and design their own site and to design a logo in illustrator

Hello I'm going to be teaching Photoshop cs5 for web design While I know how to do it myself , I don't know where to start with handouts, exercises , tutorials etc ! I suppose I should start with design theory, then move onto creating elements for pages such as buttons and then onto full page design , where could I get good notes and exercises for my students?

hmm, I don't know, I think opencart could be overkill, as I'll have to then install WP also for the blog. But I must say - this is a nice theme that might suit.

Yes, but I could adjust the style of one of those to make it more homely, I just want a good starting point.

Hello, to sell product is the primary focus. The blog will be for things that are happening locally and general news, how to best use the products, who is using the products etc etc. To compliment the sales of the products. When the user comes onto the homepage we want them to see a well presented layout of the 8 products, they can then click into each product, get lots of information and choose to purchase them. Suppose we are going off track here. I really need help picking the most appropriate theme for this kind of shop. I've been looking at a few templates on themeforest - there's too many choose from! template 1 template 2 template 3

we want a blog too - this site we are redesigning it.

I'm looking for a nice clean wordpress template, for a small business that sells 8 handmade cosmetic products. Will need a good ecommerce plugin with paypal. Any suggestions?
