Hey guys, not exactly the best place to ask this question, but your my friends right? :D
I'm working on a website and I'd like to know more or less what are the best programs for creating basic graphics for layout and design, like buttons, menus, etc
Thanks :!:
Well photoshop is easily the best tool available for making graphics, but if you don't want to buy it I recommend GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/
It's a free photo editor that has a lot of premade scripts for rendering buttons and such. Just read a few tutorials and you should be all set.
In terms of the website programing I don't know of any programs that could help you, you'll just have to learn HTML.
Hope that helps.
Paint Shop Pro is the "cheaper version" of Photoshop - it can do mostly the same things, costs about one fifth, and uses a lot less capacity on your computer.... :)
I love my Paint Shop Pro 8) (and I don't even have the latest version.... still, more than powerful enough)
Удачи! :D
Who cares about the costs of software? :) One data DVD for only 600 roubles will contain all the software you need and more. :)
Moreover, you may download any warez via eMule/eDonkey virtually for free save the traffic costs.
Ramil, and then cops visit your house and then you visit a prison :D
.... gives a whole new look on tourism..... :lol:Quote:

And can you clarify one more thing - can I use the word "whose" with inanimate nouns? I'm not even sure about the usage in russian but I hear and say sometimes something like "Компании, чьи сотрудники бастовали, были закрыты" would it be correct to say "Companies, whose personnel had been on strike were closed" :?:
I named the highest price I've ever saw for a standard warez DVD.Quote:

Hmm, I don't think so, but do you have an example of what you mean?Quote:

Well, something like this:
"You look awful what causes a fear in others"
No you can't say it like that. Maybe it was something like this?
Your looking awful is what causes fear in others.
:wink:

The question was about the usage of the word "what" in such sentences.Quote:

2Ramil:
What = 'the thing(s) that'
Study these examples carefully.
Everything that happened was my fault. (not 'Everything what happened...')
What happened was my fault. (= the thing that happened)
Everything (that) they said was true. (not 'Everything what they said...')
I gave her all the money (that) I had. (not '...all the money what I had')
Did you hear what they said? (= the things that they said)
Спасибо, но есть всё-таки вопрос:Quote:

В этом случае тоже that?
А здесь ни what, ни that не подходит :lol: Здесь, по-моему, лучше which.Quote:

Prices have doubled, which resulted in a decrease in sales.
Точно, вот снова нашел в том же учебнике (English Grammar in Use by R. Murphy) именно то, что тебе нужно:
Sheila couldn't come to the party, which was a pity. (not '...what was a pity')
The weather was very good, which we hadn't expected. (not '...what we hadn't expected')
Очень хороший учебник, классика, рекомендую :wink:
Да есть он у меня. Аж в двух экземплярах.Quote:

haven't a pencil is old form for saying i haven't got a pencil. say that now and you'd get looked at funny/people would think you were a posh twat

Я бы сказал "правильному английскому" :wink: Если ты хочешь говорить как "нигга" или всякие там "эминемы", это твои проблемы :wink:Quote:

Ну и что? Это нестандартная конструкция. Главное, что ты понял, о чем речь. А причем здесь вообще "kinda, sorta and so on"? Что, есть учебник английской грамматики, который описывает разговорные сокращения, слэнг и прочую ересь? Мы вроде о грамматике говорим :wink:Quote:
