INTRODUCTION

FreeHand is well known as a design and production tool for print graphics. With FreeHand 8 Macromedia has

added new features which make it equally useful for the production of compact graphics for the Web.

Designers can easily move between print, screen-based delivery, and Web site design.

FreeHand 8 is much more than a drawing application—it is a powerful publishing tool that easily handles

multiple pages with plenty of text and graphics content.

Suppose you are developing different concepts for a client’s Web site. FreeHand makes it easy to try

various approaches and ideas and show them to your client before you decide on a specific plan. You can

print out the entire FreeHand document to show all the pages in the proposed Web site. Alternatively, export

your FreeHand document to an Acrobat PDF document or a Macromedia Flash swf file and then show or

send the results to your client.

A FreeHand document can contain imported graphics, either embedded (stored inside the FreeHand

document) or linked (stored outside the FreeHand document).

Designers can export interactive animations directly from FreeHand in Shockwave Flash (swf) format.

Because of it’s compact file size, inherent scalability; and high-quality anti-aliased display Flash has become

the standard format for vector graphics and animations on the Web.

Using FreeHand 8, designers can export a series of FreeHand layers or pages as Flash animations for

playback over the Web without further modification or further work in Flash or Director.

Insta.HTML is an add-on utility for rapidly converting FreeHand pages into HTML Web pages. A new version

features a streamlined user interface and the ability to export FreeHand graphics as either Flash elements or

high-quality GIF images. Insta.HTML now also takes advantage of absolute positioning and cascading style

sheets to create compact HTML pages from FreeHand documents while preserving the original layout.

ABOUT THE LESSONS

In this series of lessons you will begin to discover how to use FreeHand to plan and design an Internet Web

site. You will be editing a work in progress, a document with multiple pages in which you will learn how to

mock up a storyboard to indicate the structure of the Web site, use FreeHand’s tools to create and place the

graphics, and output work as Flash animations, PDF files, HTML documents and Web graphics.

The lesson plans consist of six lessons, accompanied by six folders combining the files you will need for

each lesson. In addition, you will find a folder with the completed document, flash movies, and the finished

Web site so you can see what the pages you are working on and the final product should look like. Visit the

completed site and individual pages as you work through the exercises to see what the final project should

look like.

Start by installing FreeHand and Insta.HTML on your computer, then copy all the lesson and example folders

to your desktop or to another location where you can easily find them.

You will also find a folder containing fonts, which you need to install on your computer if you want to see the

graphics as designed.

MORE RESOURCES

In addition to this tutorial, there are a number of other resources to help you quickly learn how to use

FreeHand.

FreeHand’s online help program, available any time the application is open, includes information on every

FreeHand tool, panel, dialog box, and preference. InstaHTML has an online help section of its own.

A PDF copy of the entire FreeHand 8 manual is also located in the curricula folder on the Web Design

101 CD.
