Great suggestion. Learning design software, at least basics, can be productive.
Some designers will disagree on this point—many are moving away from Photoshop altogether. However it's more difficult to try color variations for a gradient by typing in hex colors, for example. Including up some basic techniques would make sense. (Every professional designer has a few go-to tricks.)
I'm thinking about providing some free design files with the book. Just basic elements, like buttons, styles, etc than can be adaptable. (And easy to translate into CSS.) Would that be helpful for you?

- studiofellow 15y agoThe idea is to design directly in html & css. Sketch, then build prototypes. Skip photoshop/wireframe mockups altogether.
- corford 15y agoSome basic skeleton elements would definitely be useful - even better if the chapter showing how to use basic tools within photoshop made use of these bundled elements e.g. it showed how to take the button and then apply different effects e.g. change its colour or give it a gradient
