F**K
Photoshop

everything

6. People will design in Photoshop
Bye, bye Fireworks

7. People will design in Photoshop
it has been taught for many years
that designing in Photoshop
is integrated part of a website building process

8. Designer vs Developer
- designer doesn't have to know how to code (they are artists, right),
- designer often comes from print world,
- doesn't understand that it cannot be done in a simple way
- the web world is not the print world !

9. Photoshop cannot do everything
- responsive design

10. HTML5 and CSS3 for the rescue
