How to Extract Multiple Artboards into Single Files

After a summer of blogging and searching for my first job, I finally secured one in August! Hoorah! What's more, is that it actually involves multimedia and design which I could not be happier about. Unfortunately, at the end of July, I started experiencing some technical difficulties with my Blog. I was saving drafts of posts and then was unable to access them again. It was very frustrating and after many visits to Blogger's community help page, I received no answers to my problem.

After a month at my first job, I've encountered multiple instances where I've reached out to Google for help. I've actually found myself Googling the same thing twice in some circumstances just like the issue below. So; it made sense to document the solutions to my problems and hopefully assist others while doing so. This is what the following posts will deal with: everyday solutions I've discovered as a result of my work as a designer.

Combating Creative Blocks: The Creative Process

Stuck for your next idea? Don't know how to begin this project? This post lays out how I was taught to brainstorm ideas in college.

I commenced my course entitled "Creative Multimedia" in September. We learned a number of disciplines including Photoshop, Illustrator, web design, animation and video. The classes initially composed of getting used to the interface of the programs and beginner tutorials. I was wondering just how "creative" the course would be, but found this out at Christmas when our first projects were due.

Do I really need Dreamweaver?

So there I was, in college learning to hand code using Dreamweaver. The prompts Dreamweaver gave were very comforting when starting off. It really does reassure you to see you're in the right ballpark with what you're typing. Therefore, I assumed I needed Dreamweaver for when I left college as I had not coded with any other software. This was an unpleasant thought due to the sheer expense of Adobe's products.
