As a static picture you mean you can’t really use it as a web page?
August 28th, 2009 - 21:03
lol I highly doubt that… if they are doing web design professionally they will know how to design in gimp or photoshop.
August 28th, 2009 - 21:03
You’ll need to learn HTML for that, and use a web editor. I would suggest that you Google “W3Schools”.
August 28th, 2009 - 21:03
Yes, you can link it with image map. It gives you the code in HTML that you paste to the HTML coding for your layout.
August 28th, 2009 - 21:03
How could they sue You?

@GimpKnowHow :
They want a static image for marquetting purposes. If you do 3 or 4 static images of layouts, you can send the png (or the jpg) to the client so he chooses the one he likes the most.
Doing it this way, you don’t have to code anything and you save time by doing the layout with only one software. You can do 4 design of the same web page in one after noon.
In french, it is called “maquettes”. Like, an architect who shows a miniature of a building before building the real one.

Oh..Thanks!

when i put in the gradent thing,it colors in the whole thing?what do i do!?T^T
August 28th, 2009 - 21:03
What do you mean the whole thing?
Your selection may be inverted, or you may not have something selected.

Will you make a tutorial in how to make the buttons link.
August 28th, 2009 - 21:03
Gimp is not a web design program, it can’t link the buttons.
August 28th, 2009 - 21:03
Great tutorial. I’ll be looking back on it.
Guys, making button links is using HTML and CSS. Which is something you do with your brain, not a program. You can read books and learn how to do all that stuff yourself. However, you CAN make the image for the button link in Gimp, you just can’t link it.
