Résumé

Scalable Vector Graphics is a dynamic 2D graphics format that enables designers to create graphics elements using XML. The unique functionality of SVG to render visual elements is creating new graphics horizons for design on the Internet.

Designing SVG Web Graphics presents real-word examples of design tasks (such as creating a logo, navigation bar, or even a full web page) embedded within the strict XML aspect of SVG. In doing so, the author pulls both graphic designers and web developers into a new direction of unprecedented Web development.

This book eases traditional graphics designers into XML to create SVG without losing the visual appeal to form and design. It also examines the design capabilities of SVG in a way strict XML developers can grasp that enables them to increase the visual appeal of their current development projects.

If you're a professional graphic designer, this book will:

Introduce you to the markup language esential in designing graphics with SVG
Demonstrate the ease of editing images in a language-based format, as opposed to using traditional-and costly-graphic editor programs
Enhance your design resume by teaching you how to create entire Web sites using a single tool-SVG

If you're a professional XML developer, this book will:

Introduce you to the visual design capabilites available with SVG, such as adding gradients to enhance text areas and adding color and animation to static logos
Illustrate the different aesthetic decisions that can be made using SVG code-such as how a single color code can be altered to affect the appearance of an image in multiple ways
Provide basic programming functionality for complete Web page design including hypertext links, navigation elements and dynamic functionality
