Description
Fireworks has come a long way from its roots as a screen graphics editor. As Jim Babbage demonstrates in Fireworks CS4 Getting Started, the latest release can serve as a rapid prototyping tool for a variety of uses--a central hub in the design and production workflow. Since Fireworks is a hybrid imaging application, able to seamlessly mix vector and bitmap images, layered Illustrator and Photoshop documents can be imported, edited, and restructured. Jim shows how to customize the interface and use layout tools like Smart Guides and the 9-Slice Scaling tool to quickly position and align objects on the canvas. He also discusses a variety of delivery options, including web-optimized graphics, interactive PDFs, AIR prototypes, and standards-compliant CSS and HTML. Example files accompany the course.
Topics include:

* Importing and exporting images
* Measuring distances between guides for precise positioning
* Editing symbols in place
* Creating multi-page HTML click-through prototypes

Lynda.com Fireworks CS4 Rapid Prototyping

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
