Create stunning designs with Fireworks - presented by Dustin Evans

Web designers rely on multiple tools in order to get designs from concept to completion. Typically, those tools involve a graphic editor for design comps and slicing and a text editor for markup. Most designers will default to using Adobe Photoshop for design comping and slicing. However, great alternatives to Photoshop do exist for web designers. Dustin Evans will be presenting how simple and easy it is to comp out web designs in Fireworks.

Dustin is the Lead Web Designer for RocketTheme, a Joomla template company that is remotely based all over the world. Dustin works has been featured all over the web in CSS galleries and blogs. Dustin also is recognized as zindustry on the web, which is his personal site, which can be found at: zindustry.com
