Flex is the technology for creating cutting edge web applications, both in
terms of functionality and design—it is easy to put together an application
that works and looks great. But what if you want to customize the look and feel
of your application, so that it doesn't look like every other Flex application
out there? That's not quite as simple a proposition. However, help is at hand
with this book.
Foundation Flex for Designers is a dream come true for any designer working
on customizing the look and feel of Flex applications. It takes you through
how to customize style and layouts using CSS, how to bring design assets into
Flex from applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, and Flash,
how to spice up your design work with some handy ActionScript 3.0 techniques,
and even a look forward to designing hybrid desktop/web applications with Flex
and AIR. It culminates with several design-oriented case studies, including
a video picker application, picture gallery, customer service site, and more.
