» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
ML:Take us through a typical day working on a project.
HC:Mike, there's never really a typical day. This week I'm spending more than
an average amount of my time chasing the sometimes convoluted directives of
my current and unusually difficult client. But still I imagine that this
week I will, perhaps, come into the office at about 8 a.m., brew up a double
espresso...maybe get an egg sandwich from the corner pizza place, check
emails...quickly answer them and get to work designing...making the changes
the client requested. Between 9 and 9:30 the rest of the crew will start to
wander in, and I will check in with them...see how they are doing. This week
I think, Ian is finishing up an animation as well as working with Matt
wrapping the first phase of a big ad job. Homera is holding the shop
together, as usual, managing every ones time and dealing with the clients,
deadlines, and deliverables. Grant will probably spend the week helping me
with the job I'm on and designing my new book, which is due out in the
winter. At 11:30 most days, Homera and I will conference call with a client
for a review of changes. Immediately thereafter we will meet and recap the
new requests and Homera will put it all in writing and send it to the client
for sign off. Often at this time I stop for a moment, get another espresso
or
a big thing of water and ask Homera what else I should be doing. She'll tell
me maybe that I need to write a new chapter, review the editors changes on
previous chapters, edit the new RollingStone.com video, answer an interview,
design a print ad, and so on. Then, before I know it it's six thirty and I'm
rushing out to grab a subway home.
