Lynda Weinman and I are scheduled to chat next week about some new movies for Lynda.com. She has a great description on her new blog of what we're discussing. It's the same thing I've been discussing with many of you. When I created the Joomla templates movies, my assumption was that people knew how to make a static HTML web page with an external stylesheet. Since then, I've heard from some of you at the user groups, and others at conferences and online, that this wasn't a good assumption.
Many don't understand the workflow of defining the graphic design based on client input (typically using Photoshop or Fireworks), converting the design to individual GIF/JPG/PNG images, and creating the static page design (I use Dreamweaver to do this).
A second aspect: Those of us who have been using Adobe tools for years don't necessarily understand how they fit into the workflow when working with a product like Joomla.
I'm interesting in hearing from those of you who might have some specific things you'd like me to address with these movies.
