Ahhhhhh, Fireworks.

A meeting of softwares. In general, I find that this software is like a cocktail party of my other graphic tools.

“Hi, I’m Photoshop, I allow manipulation of pixel-based images.”

“Nice to meet you, Photoshop, I’m Illustrator, I love working with lines and type. I like to keep my work organic and scalable. I’m vector-based.”

“Hi, you guys. I’m Fireworks. I really like what you both do. In fact, I like your work so well, that I do all of it. I’m good with vector and pixel-based art. I can handle type. I can manipulate images. Heck, I can draw the sweetest logos, you ever did see!”

“Showoff!” cries Photoshop.

“Punk,” fumed Illustrator.

Then they all went to the kitchen to have a byte…. Get it? A byte.

Just kidding.

Fireworks has been really easy for me to pick up. Maybe too easy. I trip around the program fairly well but I need to really dig in a bit more to see the depth of it software.

So far, it’s been more good than ugly.
