Fireworks MX Fundamentals

封面
New Riders, 2002 - 539 頁
Annotation An insiders look at the best practices for using and integrating Fireworks X effectively and efficiently. Expert advice from a 17-year graphics veteran who has used Fireworks since its inception. Focused pedagogy for intermediate users who want more than a button-pushing guide. Real-world context supplied by step-by-step tutorials to build useful sites. Fireworks is becoming much more important to web professionals because it is now being packaged along with Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver UltraDev. As more professionals note the easy interface between this graphics package and the web design software, more and more will begin to use Fireworks rather than put up with the hassles of integrating Photoshop with the Macromedia suite of web products. No one has yet prepared a book to address the needs of professional users who need more than the basics. Abigail Rudner is doing just that for New Riders, in the form of Inside Fireworks X. Abigail Rudner is a highly regarded member of the Fireworks Advisory Board and an author of Macromedia tutorials on Fireworks. Abigail is an experienced Designer working with such clients as Campbells, Tower Records, Apple Computers, Microsoft Corporation, Autodesk, BITSource, Kinetix, Absolut Vodka, Wall Street Journal, Wells Fargo, Levis, Bell Atlantic, Hewlett Packard, Lucent Technologies, and Deloitte Touche.
