FW8-2 - Fireworks 8: Advanced
This course builds on the skills and concepts taught in Fireworks 8: Basic. Students will learn how to create complex shapes and paths; work with layers, grids, and masks; create styles and graphic symbols; and use advanced techniques for adjusting and retouching images. They will also create interactive graphics (buttons, rollovers, pop-up menus, and image maps) and build and modify animations. Finally, they will learn how to boost efficiency by using the Find and History panels, running batch processes and scripts, and creating custom keyboard shortcuts.
