How to make a website like this

Does anyone know a good publication or training DVD that will
quickly teach me how to make websites like this:
http://blusites.com/adam/
I've been taking a flash course through a local college and
all they teach me is how to do stupid animal animations, animated
gifs etc... I'm dropping the class hoping that I can teach myself
and not waste anymore time
Thanks!

Personally, why pay to view linda.com videos when you can
access all the videos you could want for free at
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
I'm not crazy about the videos anywhere because I might have
to watch them again and again, but some of the videos have a
tutorial and a file to download.
If you're the type that you like to do all you can before
going to a forum, then you can do these things:
1. I don't know if you have Adobe Creative Suite 3, but if
you want to make websites with flash, you will need the program.
2. I like the flash movie at
http://blusites.com/adam/blu1.swf,
but believe it or not, it's a very simple movie. The photographs
are supplied by a professional photographer, and the flash movie is
simple.
3. If you already know how to make movies using Flash, then
get yourself an Advanced Flash book to to learn faster and become a
better flash creator. Flash CS3 uses ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0. You
might like to get a book on ActionScript 3.0 to learn faster.
You can and will learn faster and better if you take the time
to do 2. and 3.
There is a ton of Flash Tutorials at Adobe and other
websites, do a search and you'll get so many sites it could take
years to visit them all.
good luck, hope this helps

How hard to make a website like this one ?

Hi, I hope I don't stress people with my status, but I'm a
complete newbie with desire to learn. I just figured out we have
Dreamweaver at school in the Mac studio, adobe version if I recall
correctly and I wanted to make a band website with it, but couldn't
understand where to start.
So first, since I don't want to hire anybody to do it for me,
I would like to know how hard it would be to make a website like
this one :
http://franzferdinand.co.uk/
In my logic, the first step would be to create a background
image with the menu drawn in it then add buttons to them to
navigate. I would then add the content boxes with scroll bars using
the draw div function.
My second question, how do I go about learning this software
? Are courses given somewhere ?
Thanks, Francis.

If you know nothing of web design and development, it's going
to be hard.
Not that you can't do it. It's just going to take you a lot
of time and
effort to get up to speed on things.

That isn't how that site was built nor the best way to to it.
The site in
question is fairly basic HTML and then styled with a lot of
well put
together CSS.

Don't learn Dreamweaver. Instead, learn HTML, CSS,
Javascript, etc. Getting
a basic understanding of HTML and CSS will then allow you to
figure out
Dreamweaver fairly intuitively, plus you'll have a MUCH
better framework of
understanding to work from.
And feel free to ask questions in here!

How to make an avatar like this,

Hello Adobe Community, i'm new here, i have a big question. I want to know HOW to make an avatar like this:
I want to know how to do that effect that who zoom in and zoom out etc. WITHOUT SNOWING, only that effect, if you can help me please!
That zoom effect is AWESOME... send me a tutorial please!

I thought you said you knew how to make animated gif. A frame is the composite of the layers that have their visibility on for the frame a frame may be made using many layers. You use tools and filters on layers.You make frame using layers.
Photoshop also supports any size layer. Layers can be larger the canvas size can have image data out side the canvas. Layer image data position above can be move relative to the canvas. The Cloud logo animation has two layer one is masked is masked the mask is not linked to the layers image data it stationary over the canvas and is more on less a masks more foe the background canvas then the layer its on. The layer it is on image data is more off canvas then over canvas. Photoshop also notes layer position in a frame information, A layer potion can be change from frame to frame. I only create two frame for that animation. The first and last frame, The first frame I had the top late image JJMACK high and off canvas to the left. The last frame had it low and off canvas to the right. I then had Photoshop generate 138 frames between the two frames I created. So Photoshop moved the top layer position across the canvas left to right and high to low direction and the stationary layer mask masked it as if it were going through the background layers clouds. The two layers are visible in all frames.

How to make a photo like this? (footballer)

Dear All,
I am enclosing a photo that I found in the Internet. This is a footballer photo.
May I know how I can make a photo like this in terms of color and texture in Photoshop? Many thanks!
Best regards,
Keith

What you'll want to do is pick a photo with something like a person or an animal in the foreground. Then, use the Lasso tool to trace around the outside. Separate the person and the background into two or more layers, depending on how much you want to change. Up the saturation on the background, and apply a blur under the filter menu. It might just be the angle the photo was taken from, but they could have possibly added a light effect behind him as well. As for the guy, it looks like they upped the contrast and lowered brightness. Since i don't know from what angle the photo was taken, those are the only effects I can say were most likely used.
Hope this helps,
Cole

How to make color tone like this?

I'd like to find out how to make similar "color tone" effect like this:
http://www.horror-movies.ca/watermark.php?filename=poster_THE_SITTER_2D_ORING.jpg
I'm talking about those striking "artificial" skin tones you can see on many movie posters (or advertising/fashion posters). For example:
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/curious_case_of_benjamin_button_ver3.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/tropic_thunder_ver4.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/twilight_ver6.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/*****_slap_ver7.html
http://www.impawards.com/tv/posters/fringe_ver9.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/tv/posters/dexter_ver2.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/hellboy_two_ver2.jpg
I don't know how to describe it (sorry, english is not my first language), but I like the way the color on the skin affects only certain tones. I hope you understand what I'm talking about :) I tried to play with layer blending (BW + color balance of shadows)... but I never manage to do something like this. I suppose it has to be a common technique, sice I see it on so may posters and photos. Does anybody have some advice? Thanks!

Alan,
The links you posted seem to suggest the effect you are after may be the result of luminance masking, perhaps coupled with a knockout layer to protect the eyes. Try this procedure:
(a) Duplicate the background layer CTRL + J (and perhaps rename it Blur as that helps to emphasise the purpose of the new layer).
(b) With the new Blur layer active, from the Menu bar choose Filter/Blur/Gaussian blur about 20% for starters each image may require slight variations to this amount.
(c) Turn off the visibility of the new Blur layer and select/make active the Background layer.
(d) Go to Channels Palette and CTRL click on the Red channel. Return to the Layers Palette. Turn visibility of new Blur layer back on and select it.
(e) With the new Blur layer active, click the Add layer mask button at the bottom of the Layers Palette this adds the Luminosity Mask to this layer and results in seeing the Gaussian blur now only inside the lightest (50%) details of the image. Now change the Blend Mode of this layer from Normal to Overlay. If the effect seems too strong, try the Soft Light blend mode which is less severe. If you want a greater effect than Overlay delivers, try Linear Light. You can back off the effect of any of these blend modes with the Opacity slider but that would, I think, also back off the amount of Blur, which may or may not (depending upon the image) lessen the overall effect you are aiming for.
(f) Next comes the Knockout Layer (KL) to remove the effect of these Blur and Blend Mode edits from the eyes. The KL must be on top of the Blur layer, so make the Blur layer active and then add a new transparent layer above it - CTRL + Shift + N and name it Knockout.
(g) On the new KL, select the eyes with the Elliptical Marquee Tool (select too much rather than too little reason follows later) and fill the selection with Black ALT + Backspace (provided Foreground Colour in Tools Palette is Black). Then deselect the eyes CTRL + D.
(h) Bring up the Layer Style dialog box (LSDB) by double clicking on the icon for the KL. In the LSDB change Knockout from None to Shallow and reduce Fill Opacity from 100 to zero % and click OK which dismisses the LSDB. That is it you have now eliminated the effects of the Blur layer on the eyes using the Black holes on the KL.
(i) To remove any excess eye selection, you use the Eraser tool (set to about 50% hardness) and paint around the edges of the eyes with the Eraser tool what this is doing is reducing the size of the holes in the KL and bringing back the effects of the edits from the Blur layer.

How to make a layout like this?

Hu My question is how to make a work layout like this panel?
One is affected by perspective grid and there others are not.
Thank you!

Please read about art boards in the manual. That's what it's there for.
In one file you can have objects in the perspective grid and objects that are not. Use the plane switching widget to determine that:

How to make a page like this...

I'm trying to figure out how to make pages in iWeb like this site:

I don't care about the flash section, I'm more interested in the static background image with the centre scrolling section. I've looked at the source code, but I don't know enough about html to figure out which part of the code I need.
Any suggestions?
Lynn

Have a look :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/tmf/Duckmenu.html
And this is the code to paste in the HTML Snippet :
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.document.body.style.backgroundColor='#3B92CC';
parent.document.body.style.backgroundImage='url(../duckmenu/duckassets/Spoorbackground.gif)';
parent.document.body.style.backgroundPosition='50% 0%';
parent.document.body.style.backgroundAttachment='fixed';
parent.document.body.style.backgroundRepeat='no-repeat';
</script>
This one uses a similar background, but not static :

How to make it look like this in Premiere Pro CC?

So, I have 2 videos and I want to make it like this. How to do that?
Thanks!

Each Video track is numbered at the left, V1, V2, V3, etc. with higher number tracks covering lower number tracks. So put "Video 2" on V2, and use Scale and Position on Video 2 clip as directed by shooternz to create your PIP effect.
Thanks

How to make text wrap like this

Hello all.
I am working with text, and want to have a similar effect to that in the picture. What I mean by this is that I really like the columns, and how it indents when it needs to and the text still remains aligned across the columns.
Any ideas on how to do this? Thank you

But this is the point of going with InDesign: that you put in your text so that you can harness the power of InDesign to flow it along the columns and wrap it around inserted blocks automatically.
There's no point in simply copying images from Fireworks into InDesign. You'll just have some low resolution images in a layout program. It won't help.
Open InDesign. Open your Fireworks file. Select each text object in Fireworks, and copy the text from the vector object. Paste the text into InDesign. Maybe paste it into a text editor, first, so you have it as all one block.
Then, here's what you want to do in InDesign:
text flow: http://www.designertoday.com/Tutorials/InDesign/5245/Text.Flow.InDesign.CS3.Tutorial.aspx
and
text wrapping: http://www.creativepro.com/article/on-the-move-to-indesign-wrapping-text (sorry, this one's really old, look in the documentation)
Fireworks can't do either one of these things. Even Word and Acrobat (or another PDF creation program like Primo PDF) would work out better than Fireworks for what you want to create.

How to make a trailer like this?

Does anybody know how to accomplish any of the effects in this trailer, if you each help with one, that would make my day.

Thanks

I didn't see any "effects" but I did see basic keyframe animation. The spin effects are simply a 3D layer with rotation keyframes on the Y axis. The little splashes when the duck hits the water surface are nothing more than traditional animation. If you go to the front page of this forum and look at the top you'll find a link to both the help and the FAQs pages. I'd start with Getting Started.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHvZt_XPTLc
I want to create something like that, of course a lot simpler. I opened up Motion today but it looks different compare to Adobe Flash. How should I get start? Can someone tell me what I need to do first? Or please explain the keyframe thing please? Thank you so much!

There are quite a few YouTube tutorials out there (including some ripped directly from my book) - there are also other resources listed in the thread I linked. Almost anything that can be done in After Effects can be done in Motion, but you need to know Motion well enough to translate.
A big difference with Motion over AE is that Motion gives you behaviors - want something to move across the screen? Apply a throw behavior, want it to spin? Apply a spin behavior. Etc...
Not to mention all the projects that you can find in these very discussions...

There are two question: 1) What if I want to make second custom view 2)How I will add Drawers to my Main Project
And I know you're helping me a lot in cocoa-applescript but I need to ask you one more thing... I looked Documention, Internet but I couldn't find anything. Every topic that I've found is for AppleScript Studio (I know you know it since 1978 ). How can I set dataSource for Outline View. I'm trying to show playlist folders and playlists in it. Actually I found how to show drawer when I post my lastest reply but Apple Discussions get into maintance .

Can anyone tell me how this menu is made with the animation

Just a hunch, but my guess is frame by frame (stop motion)
animation. It probably took someone a pretty long time to
illustrate each frame by hand.
