Fireworks 4 Bible |
| Designers with substantial experience with other drawing and painting applications may not realize how much more practical and time-saving Fireworks can be when it comes to making graphics for the Web. Whether you are new to Fireworks or have already dabbled a bit, and are looking to find out all it can do, you couldn't find a more thorough or enthusiastic instructor than Joseph Lowery and his Fireworks 4 Bible. One of the premier writers on Dreamweaver and Fireworks, Lowery has earned the respect of Macromedia and the many users who have benefited from his advice. Here he fulfills the usual function of the Bible series: basic instruction is mixed with a detailed manual that performs perfectly as a reference guide. Lowery discusses the particular strengths of Fireworks, the (common Macromedia) interface, and the work environment; every tool, menu, and palette gets scrutinized. Mastering the tools (a "short learning curve," the author notes encouragingly)--vector graphics, bitmaps, colors, strokes, paths, and text--are then examined. Readers are introduced to how the results work on the Web (hotspots, slices, rollovers) and then learn the best methods for making GIF animations (onion skinning, tweening, frame handling). The appendices include a Web primer and keyboard shortcuts. Throughout the book, features that are new in version 4 are highlighted for easy access, as are tips (insights that go beyond basics), notes (technical asides) and cautions (anticipations of common errors). Why would you want another reference when Macromedia provides great online application support? Because Lowery packs a lot of experience in with the how-to instructions. For example, he is sure to mention any technique that might shave even just a second off work time. Add them up and you may just find yourself with enough leftover time to have another cup of coffee and make more art. --Angelynn Grant
From vector drawing to bit map editing to animations, Fireworks 4 from Macromedia puts all the Web graphics tools you need into a single, cohesive package. Packed with timesaving tips and real-world examples, Fireworks 4 Bible shows you how to make the most of Fireworks to create professional looking Web graphics and designs.

Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004 for Windows & Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide) |
Anybody who has a Web site knows that content alone is not going to make or break it. The site's visual images, the appearance of its navigation buttons, the type effects it employs, the interactivity it offers—all of these things are key to a Web site's effectiveness, and all of them can be manipulated with Macromedia's newly updated Web graphics program, Fireworks MX 2004. To do so effectively and efficiently, you need this easy, task-based guide. In these pages, best-selling author Sandee Cohen takes you through all of the Fireworks essentials: from using the basic drawing, color, and effects tools to creating interactive buttons, and more. Simple step-by-step instructions; loads of visual aids; and a friendly, no-nonsense writing style make it easy for beginners to get up to speed quickly. Plus, a well-indexed reference format and complete coverage of Fireworks' newest features (added drawing tools, more image manipulation options, motion effects, and more) make it a must-read for veteran users as well.

Integrating Flash, Fireworks, and FreeHand f/x & Design: Solutions for Web design workflow |
| Integrating Flash, Fireworks, and Freehand f/x & Design: Solutions for Web Design Workflow is perfect if you've already used each of these applications individually, but want to become more efficient by taking advantage of the specific strengths each offers and coordinating tasks between them all. Projects cover creating maps, wireframe diagrams, photographs, navigational bars, animated GIFs, Flash movies, building Web sites, and more. And the book even discusses how to integrate Fireworks within Dreamweaver. This is a tutorial-based book and fairly text-heavy. You'll get the most out of it if you can invest the time to follow along step by step in front of your computer, either using the files provided on the CD-ROM or generating new artwork yourself. The author has a gentle, friendly style that's encouraging and supportive. The introduction to the chapter on Flash by noted Flash expert Hillman Curtis only amounts to three pages of advice, but it's also very encouraging to newbies. The book's level is set, roughly, at intermediate to advanced, but this needs to be clarified: If you call yourself "advanced," this will all be familiar territory (no advanced user needs to see how Bézier curve handles work). On the other hand, if you're a designer who is experienced in other graphics applications, but a rank beginner with any of these Macromedia products, you'll probably be able to follow along just fine. The bulk of the audience will be users who feel they haven't yet maximized their integration of Flash, Fireworks, Freehand, and Dreamweaver, as well as those who've lagged behind in taking the leap into ActionScripting. (Isn't that most of us?) You won't become an ActionScripting pro, but you will pick up some of the fundamentals. A nice bonus: the CD-ROM contains 20 QuickTime movies demonstrating key steps in several projects. --Angelynn Grant
