Course Overview
In this course, you'll use Adobe Fireworks to create vector graphics, edit bitmap graphics, optimise images, and create and assign rollover effects for the Web.
Prerequisites
- To ensure your success, you must have a basic understanding of your computer's operating system. For example, you should know how to launch an application, create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media.
Objectives
- Understand the differences between bitmap and vector graphics.
- Use the Info panel to precisely scale objects.
- Use Adobe 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 Adobe 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 Adobe Fireworks file with rollover effects as an HTML document
