Average Rating:
 Rating: - Makes things easier and nicerI was never particularly interested in graphic design. I'm still not. Even so, I realize the importance of graphics in presentation. A background as an engineer convinced me of this and my work (limited) in publishing and teaching just makes the point stronger. I have some limited experience with the Adobe line including PHOTOSHOPE and ILLUSTRATOR. Those are powerful tools but way beyond what I was willing to learn. For me, FIREWORKS fit the bill.

There are also a few more filters. The interface looks more or less the same, and selecting ... Read More Rating: - A great program... but...As a standalone, Fireworks will do what you need. It will create excellent web graphics. Menus, sites, animated gifs, rollovers, etc... However, I would strongly suggest to you that you at least add Dreamweaver MX 2004 to the mix, preferably Studio MX 2004. The programs work so seemlessly together that it's almost like working in a single program. |
