Elstree Film Studios - Training Courses - Adobe Fireworks

Although there are many software tools available for creating interesting and eye-catching images, there are very few that can compare with the impact and versatility available when using Adobe Fireworks. With animation, image optimisation and special effects filters built-in, plus time-saving integration with other Adobe products, Adobe Fireworks has proved itself in recent years to become by far the supreme bitmap and vector graphics editor and the indisputable tool of choice when wishing to create impressive images and optimising them for the web.

This intensive one day course shows you how to make the most out of your web layouts and images, by using the more efficient and dynamic design environment provided by Adobe Fireworks to rapidly develop graphics and other visual elements for your web sites, web applications or user interfaces. From the creative visual design stages, to the slicing, optimisation, and exporting of finished web graphics, this course empowers you to take your images to the next dimension.

Duration: 1 day.
