Time for reader mail! I’m quite a bit backlogged, so I apologize on how long it took to post this. Most all questions I try to respond too via email right away though. Keep them coming! As to why there was such a long dry spell with the blog: To make a long story short I took a new job at a company 1,000 miles away in Charleston, South Carolina. At the time we moved my wife was about nine months pregnant. Our first child, a beautiful baby girl was born July 7th. Check out the Flickr album here if you’re curious. Thanks for everyone’s patience and kind words of encouragement during this lull in activity. Now on to the mail!

Sunday, August 17th, 2008
This is the sixth part of a series of web design tutorials on Adobe Fireworks. Using a fictional company I’m documenting my design workflow from start to finish. You can follow along by starting at the beginning of the series or by downloading the most recent Fireworks PNG file here (right-click, save-as). If you’re just starting out, you can download the 30-day full feature Adobe Fireworks demo here (note: A relatively painless account setup is required to download the free demo).

Fireworks, just like Flash and Illustrator create a file made up of points, lines, curves, and shapes.

Hello, and let me be the first to welcome you to my brand new blog. As of the date of this writing, I’m sure I’m not welcoming very many people – but I sincerely hope that’ll change. Why you might ask? Because I’m a huge proponent of the program Adobe Fireworks and I’d like to help people get to know it (and love it) just as I have.
I’m using this blog as a way of warming up to writing a book on the use of the program, so please bear with me if my tutorials seems less than well formulated at first. My goal (more…)
