Author: Jim Babbage | Duration (hr:min): 04:17 | Language: English | 1DVD | Released on: 8/21/2009 | Exercise files: Yes

Description
In Fireworks CS4: Rapid Prototyping, designer Jim Babbage deconstructs real-world examples that show the interoperability between Fireworks and other Adobe applications. Jim lays out the schedule for good prototyping, from wireframing to storyboarding to creating multi-page mockups for design feedback. Along the way, he covers advanced imaging topics, such as adding interactivity for a realistic mockup and exporting a Flex mockup as an FXG file. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:

* Using screen-sharing applications for review and feedback on prototypes
* Emulating a Spry accordion panel with the Grid auto shape
* Storyboarding wireframes to make them more realistic
* Adding navigation and design variations to elicit comments
* Building multi-page mockups and adding interactivity
* Inserting rollover states in prototypes
* Using Flex skins in final mockup sets
