Dunno if that's any clearer ... <grin>
I know exactly what you mean, but I don't think there's a resource on
the net that will help.
what you want is PSD's that allow for growth e.g backgrounds that are
larger than the space they initially occupy.
navigation buttons that allow text to grow so the buttons can expand
etc.
I think you might get the best benefit from looking at animation
tutorials - the old style Disney gel method, where the characters are
placed on a background.
to me the one thing the GD's don't *get* about CSS is that you don't
slice images to fit a grid any more, you arrange images and elements in
layers, either side by side or in vertical stacks.
I'd try and explain this visually by printing various parts of the
design out (switch off layers one by one) and then _show_ the GD's how
you build up the page and why they need to think in backgrounds that
grow, text that grows and so on.
I think once a GD *gets* the layers, they'll find Photoshop very
accommodating.
but as you say, they hardest part is to get them to think like
animators, not grid based print designers.
