How to hire a great freelance Adobe Fireworks Designer
Adobe Fireworks is a piece of software that has been in use since 2006 as a vector graphics and bitmap editor. It began as a Macromedia Fireworks before being acquired by Adobe and added to their suite of design tools. Adobe Fireworks was designed and created with the purpose of aiding web designers and developers in creating quick and easy prototypes and mockups of web pages and application interfaces. It was a part of Adobe Creative Suite until Adobe decided to stop releasing new updates for it in 2013. The reason for this was that Fireworks was starting to overlap in functionality other Adobe software like Photoshop and Illustrator.
Despite the discontinuation of support for Adobe Fireworks, its use in the web design industry has hardly lessened. It still remains a widely used piece of software in web design, especially when it comes to creating quick mockups of web pages or graphic interfaces. This is all possible thanks to the features which Adobe Fireworks offers, chief of which are:
Hierarchical Layers – Similar to other Adobe products like Photoshop, Fireworks offers the use of layers that can be accessed and modified separately from the Layers tab.
Image Optimization – Any image edited with Fireworks can be compressed to make it easier to open or load by users with slower internet speeds. Given the fact that Fireworks was made primarily with web design in mind, its compression rate is even greater than that of Photoshop.
Symbols – There are objects that are often used in one of the projects and multiple instances of it are needed. To make it so that the designer does not need to create the same object multiple times they can be made into symbols. A master symbol will then be created, which when modified, will carry those modifications over to all instances of that symbol used in the project.
States – States are used when animation is needed in the project, they represent a behavior of an object after an event like a keystroke, for example.
Learning and using Adobe Fireworks can appear to be a daunting task for somebody who is new to the design industry. It is precisely for this reason that hiring an expert in the filed can save both time and resources. An expert in Fireworks will be able to create stunning web graphics and animation much more efficiently and professionally then somebody who has just recently learned its intricacies. Hiring a freelance Adobe Fireworks expert will often times prove more profitable too, since freelancers can offer lower rates and hour-based payment. This becomes especially important to note if the project in question requires short-term work to be done. In this case the simplicity of hiring a freelancer will prove to be of great benefit when it comes to saving time.
