Fireworks

Overview

Fireworks is a web graphics design tool optimised to make the creation of .GIFs and .JPEG images straightforward. Typically web design software does provide sufficient (if any) support for graphic images which contribute greatly to a web pages look and feel.

 

Typically a web page designer will use a number of application packages in the process of producing an image. Fireworks bypasses the need to use these other programs and provides specific web tools – including support for animation, browser palettes and additional functionality when used in conjunction with DreamWeaver. The courses teaches users how to optimise their use of the Fireworks program in producing effective web images.
