Fireworks 8 Basic
Students will learn how to design and refine graphics for the Web. They will learn how to create and manipulate vector shapes, apply colors and styles, create and modify text, and optimize and export graphics. Students will get the most out of this course if they are familiar with basic Web concepts but have no prior experience with Fireworks.
