Web Page Design

[GCerbera]

For the designers on here, can you tell me how easy is it to have images on a web page
either displayed at angles (rather than in a line) or over laying each other?

I use Front Page and Dreamweaver but have no in depth knowledge of them really.

Thanks in advance!

Overlaying can be done using stylesheets to position images at absolute positions on the page. I don't know of a means of angling images though.

could always fool it

angle your pic and then save as normal then publish square pic of the angled object

Like Ted says, you can use absolute positioning to place the images exactly where you want them. If you were to use PNG format graphics then you can even use alpha channel transparency. Then for the images you want to appear rotated, you'll have to create new images with a transparent background, with the original image rotated and placed on top of this.

Alternatively you could use slicing. Something like Fireworks (or ImageReady?) will allow you to build up your montage of overlayed and angled pictures. These can then be sliced into smaller images and the tool will generate the HTML layout table for you too.

I'd agree with teh above and say it would be easier for you to open your images in photoshop/fireworks/imageready or whatever graphics package you can use, expand the canvas to larger than the image and rotate it to your desired angle and save it at that angle, or mulatiple images on one large canvas.
Remember to make your canvas either transparant or the same colour as your web page so it looks as it should. IE white web page, white canvas.

Ok thanks for the help folks.

I'd thought about the multi image rotated on one image
already, but was concerned
it would take much longer to load.
