Sprout Video

In the previous lesson you created a text-based style guide. It's now time to extract the necessary assets from our static design for use in our theme. To complete this lesson you will need a design application capable of opening a .psd file. The video demonstrates Photoshop, but I typically use Gimp. Either is fine. And if you don't have a graphics program, you can watch the video, but simply download the assets which were extracted during the lesson. By the end of this lesson you will be able to identify page-level design assets which need to be extracted from a design file for your Drupal theme.
