Attractive, functional Web menus are vital to the success of any Web or intranet site and are necessary for any multi-page project in new media. No matter which technology drives media project, whether HTML, DHTML, XML, ASP or Flash, the menu is designed and constructed with the same elements and principles. Designers spend most of their designing time developing new menus on any project. Most designers have no training in how to create a menu, and list navigation as an area they would like to build skills. "Web Menus with Beauty and Brains" is a text on how to plan and create menu systems for Web sites, intranet projects, wireless applications and CD-ROM content. It begins with determining the structure for a site (and how to organize menu categories), before moving on to the practical information required to complete the graphics for the menu and finally on to the actual page. Sections are clearly divided for use as a reference for experienced designers. There are graphic instructions and templates for the top graphics programs and all the major applications - such as Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, GoLive and PhotoShop - are covered.
The book's CD-ROM includes template files, working files for graphic exercises, colour versions of all graphics included in the book and a searchable PDF version of the book.
