Now is a Good Time to be a Fireworks Evangelist

I could not imag­ine my cre­ative process with­out Adobe Fireworks. I have been using that appli­ca­tion since ver­sion 2.0 some­time in 1999. 10 years ago, Fireworks was not an obvi­ous choice but the work­flow advan­tages over Photoshop were imme­di­ately evi­dent to me and my cre­ative process never was the same. Unfortunately, it took almost all those years…

Rapid Prototyping Tools and Principles

Dan Harrelson from Adaptive Path has writ­ten a very inter­est­ing blog post titled Rapid Prototyping Tools and what makes good prototypes. My long time favorite Adobe Fireworks is men­tionned along with Axure RP Pro (which is a newer tool in my arsenal) but also sev­eral oth­ers includ­ing online tools like Balsamiq Mockups.

On the other hand, I won­der why Adobe is not using a ColdFusion based solu­tion for blog­ging. I really think they should be using their own plat­forms as much as pos­si­ble. They could be…

Fireworks CS4 Beta on Adobe Labs!

Fireworks is finally get­ting some long over­due expo­sure. A beta of the next CS4 ver­sion has been posted on Adobe Labs today. I will blog about this in more details later this week. Long story short is that there is a lot to love in this new ver­sion and Fireworks is finally gain­ning some matu­rity and sophis­ti­ca­tion. There are…
