What is Adobe Muse?
Definition

Muse allows designers to build a template that can be easily edited for each website page. Using an interface that's much like Adobe's InDesign, designers can quickly and easily create websites as a series of dynamic documents which generate the necessary HTML code for them to be published online. Elements are included as a series of widgets that can be dragged and dropped onto the page.

 

Muse uses an interface and toolbar that will be familiar to anyone who has used the Adobe program InDesign. Most photographers have their own website, which they are responsible for maintaining themselves. The website can be used as a marketing tool to promote their photos, give clients access to view, pay and download their photos from anywhere and to look professional.

What are the different web graphics?
Definition

• JPGs, = JPGs are great for photographs. They're relatively small files, but they have lossy compression.

• GIFs = GIF or sometimes pronounced this GIF are used for areas of flat colour and logos

• PNGs = PNGs support 256 levels of transparency versus one for GIFs.

 

The reason we use these is because they're small files and download pretty quickly.

They also are all supported by the major web browsers.
