Course Description:

'' Macromedia Fireworks 4 is an integrated, all-in-one tool for producing graphics and animations for the World Wide Web.

You can create buttons, animations, and page comps. Save production time with the History panel, step-by-step button maker, and the Library. Everything remains editable (including files from other leading graphics applications) and Fireworks code integrates seamlessly into Macromedia Dreamweaver and other leading HTML editors.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Understand the differences between bitmap and vector graphics.

Use the Info panel to precisely scale objects.

Use Fireworks to create and manipulate complex vector graphics and apply effects, textures, and patterns.

Understand the GIF, JPEG, and PNG file formats to choose the right one for each kind of image.

Import bitmap (raster) graphics and modify them in Bitmap Mode.

Create selections within bitmap images using the Lasso, Marquee, and Magic Wand tools.

Import and modify text objects, and merge them with vector graphics.

Understand image resolution as it pertains to Web based graphics.

Show and edit rulers, grids, and guides in order to help position items with precision on a Web page.

Create hotspots to which you will assign links, alt text, and link targets.

Slice complex images into sections and use the Optimise panel and Fireworks’ Preview modes to optimise the images individually.

Create simple and customized rollover and disjoint rollover effects using effects, patterns, and textures.

Export a multi-frame Fireworks file with rollover effects as an HTML document.
