Playing With Fire

Well, I have been getting into logo design lately and using mostly Fireworks to do the designs and sometimes a little Photoshop too! I am quite amazed with how much these programs are capable of achieving once some time is spent learning about all the features. I have really taken a liking to Fireworks and have started getting some impressive results from using the program.

Quality Logo

Here’s one of the logos I put together. On this logo, I used the Ellipse Tool for the sun and also the vector Knife Tool for making some of the fine slices for the smaller pieces.

The thing that I find most enjoyable about doing the designs is how much it gets the creative juices flowing. I am the type of person that gets bored easy with doing the same thing over and over. Repetition gets old and creating art with Fireworks is always a new and motivating experience for me. I especially like that every time I use the program, I learn about a new feature or trick way of doing things with the program. I am glad that I took a little time out and started playing with fire!

    I love Fireworks! In my opinion, it is entirely more intuitive then Photoshop (for those of us who don’t have the time to take a college course just to learn the basics.) :)

    Kool Skool! Nice to hear from another person that likes Fireworks!

    I use the program pretty much every day to make web site elements, blending graphics together and gradients and other things like that.

    I do find it easier to use than PS too. Some parts of it are a lot the same as PS and do the same things or close. But for some reason the interface is just more intuitive, as you said! Seams easier to move around in the program and menu functions and understand them.

    Thank you Summer for the comment.

    Ryder :-)
