Publishing Web Sites to the CCAC Academic Server via Microsoft SharePoint Designer

First, Have your site opened in SharePoint Designer....

1. Go to File>Publish Site> 2. You will then see a window called Remote Web Site Properties.3. We only need to edit what is in the “Remote Web Site” tab. >Select FTP radio button,

>Type ftp://web.acd.ccac.edu/public_html into the Remote Website Location cell. >Click O.K. -FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.

4. Next you will see a Name and Password Required window.5. Type in your NETID username and password. Same as you use to

log onto the computer>O.K (you may need to delete the CCAC\ that FrontPage may enter automatically).

>Shortcut to Publish Sites: Once you are setup to publish the site you can then use the “Remote Website” tab at the bottom of the screen in FrontPage for all future uploads. You must have the website folder selected. Note: If you move to another computer you will need to go through this process again.

6. You will now be in the "Remote Web Site" tab of your site environment.7. The left window is your Local Web Site. The right window is the

Remote Web Site you will be publishing to. This is the CCAC academic server. Notice the directory paths for each.

8. At this point leave all as is and click the Publish Web Site button (bottom right of screen).

9. You will do this process each time you want to upload changes. FrontPage will only upload files that are changed - which will save time.

Go to http://web.acd.ccac.edu/~yournetidusername to view your site….

Note1: For future reference...if you need to upload your site and do not have Front-Page go to the following address in Internet Explorer (or any browser):ftp://username@web.acd.ccac.edu-You will then see a public_html folder. Open to see your site and to upload changes. This works just like folder to folder changes on your computer -except it is remote.

Note2: You have 10mb of web space. Your space should be there as long as you are a student with an NetID. NetID account usually will expire after 180 days of inactivity.

Remember:1. Do not change the name of the “default.htm” file. This is how the

server recognizes that this is the first page to load in the directory.2. Do not move files around and/or change names once placed into your

site. They are fixed to a specific directory path. By changing the name or location of the path -the link will be broken.

Other web hosts:>Your ISP at home probably provides you with web space you can use. >www.godaddy.com>www.1and1.com

Adobe PDF Presentation-Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional DescriptionThe PDF Presentation will produce a digital movie to display your artwork. There will only be one file produced which will be a Adobe PDF file. This has many advantages for external viewing on CD, sending attached through email, and displaying on the web. You will need to have at least 15 images in the movie and the lead slide (total of 16). You can add more slides if you like, and be more creative by adding a information slides at transition areas, description text to your images, final slide, etc...

Note: Adobe Acrobat can import the following formats (PDF, BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PICT, PNG, DOC, TIFF, etc...). If your files are already in these formats then you can skip to step 1.

To import from the following applications you will need to convert file formats....

Adobe PDF Presentation-Adobe Photoshop Note1: You need to have at least 5 images in the movie and the lead slide (total of 6). You can add more slides if you like, and be more creative by adding a final slide, description text to your images, information slides at transition areas, etc...(pending on the course you are in you may be required to include a project as 1 of the 5 images).

Note2: It is best to name your files as a,b,c,d or 1,2,3, for how you want the image order of your presentation to appear. The lead slide should appear first (1-a).

Note3: The images used will be stretched to fit screen in the presentation. The initial files used in the movie should be large in dimension. Approximately the size of your screen resolution or the destination view source.

1. Create lead slide: Applies to all classes. You can design however you like. From Illustrator/Photoshop: Develop lead slide on an 11x8.5 or (1024x768) artboard. Include your: 1. Name 2. Course number and name (e.g. Art 168 Digital Imaging)3. Term and year (e.g. Fall 2005)4. Click Esc. Key to exit movie5. --include your web address if you are in Art 170 Web Graphic Design.

Art 150: Preparing files from illustrator.1. Create a new folder and call it Presentation (or something similar). This is

where you are going to save all the prepared Illustrator files for the movie.2. Open the file to be prepared. Enlarge file so to fit on the 8.5x11 artboard.

For example, if you want to include a logo in the movie. Enlarge the logo to fit up to the edge of the 8.5x11 artboard it was created on. If the file was already designed on an 8.5x11artboard (Olympic project). Just leave as is. Be sure not to have any other objects outside the artboard (pasteboard) that are not part of the design.

***Illustrator encapsulates all objects in your file (artboard/pasteboard). It does not save to the page size. An object on the pasteboard that is not part for your design will be saved in Illustrator. Also, you may want to put a box around logos, letterforms, etc so the artwork is not clipped.

3. Once enlarged/opened > File Save As... > Rename > Save the file in Illustrator format > and save into the Presentation folder.

4. Open Photoshop….>>>>next page>>>>

Art165: Preparing files from InDesign, and other applications...1. Create new folder and call it PDF working (or something similar). This is

where you are going to save all the prepared image files for the movie.2. The easiest and most efficient way is to just screen capture the file that

you want to use in the movie. Try to capture the maximum amount of viewing area of the file.

3. To screen capture press and hold Prnt. Scrn. Key (top right corner of the key board) for at least 4 seconds…

4. Open Photoshop5. Go to File>New…a new window will appear with the current dimensions of

your screen (Photoshop recognizes that you just did a screen capture) > O.K.6. Press Ctrl+V (paste). Screen capture places into artboard.7. Crop to desired area.8.

4. Then Save>PDF Options window appears....

PDF Options window:Encoding:- JPEG- Quality: this is where you will need to do a couple test runs to see where quality and file size needs to balance. 8-10 is usually fine unless you are working with some initially small images.

>Leave rest of the boxes unchecked.>Then O.K.

The presentation is prepared automatically and will open in Adobe Acrobat to view.

tsWeb File Formats

Fortunately, the software designers at Adobe and others implemented a “Save for Web” option under the File pull-down menu. This feature enables users to easily prepare and save media for the web. The following outline is demonstated utilizing this option. Ultimately, the general rule is files (images) with many colors (more than 256) should be saved in JPEG. File that are less that 256 colors (logos, line art, simple graphics-animations) should be saved in GIF.

GIF file format: “Graphic Interchange Format”General Information:

1. 8-bit file format: A bit of information is a zero or a one. Therefore an 8-bit file means a string of 8 zeros and ones are denoted for each pixel of information.

2. GIF is a lossless compression. The file does not get compressed when saving. This means you can keep saving a GIF many times without losing quality.

3. 256 colors maximum can be saved for a GIF file.

4. GIF files can support transparency and animation.

5. GIF files that are interlaced means that when a website is loading ... the intelaced option causes the file to appear at low resolution - then to medium resolution- finally to the resolution it was initially saved in. It is usually not suggested to use the interlace option due to the distracting quality it gives visually when loading.

6. Dithering is usually best when gradients are present. Dithering will apply a screened pattern into the file to “diffuse” the gradients so there is not banding.

JPEG: “Joint Photographic Expert Group”General Information:

1. 24-bit file format: Can handle millions of colors.

2. JPEG is a lossy compression. The file gets compressed when saving. Even on maximum quality. Therefore, it is good practice to save a working file in a non-compressible format (primarily photoshop *.PSD) until ready for JPEG.

3. JPEG does not support transparency or animation (quicktime).

4. JPEG files that are progressive (basically same as a “interlaced” GIF file) means that when a website is loading ... the progressive option causes the file to appear at low resolution-then to medium- finally to the resolution it was initially save in. It is usually not suggested to use the interlace option due to the distracting quality it gives visually when loading.

1. We can utilze the source folder that you created for the PDF presentation to create a web photo gallery.

>Create a new folder called web photo gallery in your overall Art160 Portfolio course folder. >Select PDF presention source folder and copy then paste into the web photo gallery folder you just created. >Rename the folder Gallery source. >Create another new folder called Gallery destination in the web photo

gallery folder. This will eventually house the web gallery that you will upload to your web space on the college server.

2. The Photoshop web gallery operation can accept most file formats (Illustrator (*.ai) and Photoshop (*.psd)) included. The only two commonly used formats that it cannot accept are Word (*.doc) and InDesign (*.indd) files.

3. Unlike the PDF presentation you cannot edit the file order of display. You will need to manually edit the file name to display in the order you want them to appear in the gallery (a, b, c, d, etc...).

Lead image is optional. Very Important not to rename the file extension! Just the file name only. 4. Open Photoshop>File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery.5. Choose type of image gallery/email.6. Browse and choose the source and destination folders you have

already created. 7. Options follow...

-DO NOT CHANGE NAME OF “default.htm” file.

-Notice the new tabs at the bottom of the page. Folders/Remote Web Site/Reports/Navigation/Hyperlinks

*Creating a site environment in SharePoint Designer allows all content for the site to be collected into one area. Also, more features such as “Remote Web Site” becomes active which allows you to upload your site to a server within your site environment.

Key Topics:1. All media to be placed into the site must be within the site environment

folder. You should create a folder called "media" to collect all final files. 2. Do not change the name of the “default.htm” file. This is the name of the

first file a server will try to find to load within a folder directory. 3. We are designing the entire site on one page for ease of editing.4. The bookmark sections should flow well in navigation to create the illusion

that the user is jumping to new pages. 5. Consider type of compositional theory.6. Consider using a table for the layout of your site. 7. The resume should have good typographical structure.8. Focus on meeting requirements of the project first. Then you can add more

media and features as more time becomes available. 9. Three types of navigation/links: a. Static b. Interactive buttons c. Swap Image-Behavior10. We will be creating a few more folders within the site environment. a. Media-all media such as header, animations, collages, etc... b. Buttons-interactive buttons and rollovers c.
