The Fireworks Way - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 2-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

The Fireworks way

With Fireworks, Diana doesn't need those other
programs. She needs only Fireworks to produce this
graphic from start to finish. Even better, modifications
are easy, even after the graphic has been loaded onto the
web site.
How Diana uses Fireworks to make this job easy:
Open a new Fireworks document or import an
1
existing document.
In our example, the vector framework is created in
Fireworks using the intuitive vector tools.
Fireworks imports all major web design file formats.
Alternatively, Diana can create this vector art in
FreeHand and open it directly in Fireworks.
Create vector art in Fireworks or open FreeHand
documents directly.
Apply strokes, fills, and effects.
2
Apply realistic strokes, fills, and effects using the
Stroke, Fill, and Effect panels. Use the Effect panel to
bevel the edge of the palette. In this example, Diana
uses the vector tools to alter the number and
location of the paint wells on the artist' s palette. She
then applies a wood pattern fill and bevel effect to
produce this image.
Reshape the object.
3
Alter the shape of the artist' s palette using the
Reshape Area tool.
