    photoshop is a more powerful tool for creating images etc. that much is obvious and i must admit it, but fireworks is so much nicer for collating the work you've done in photoshop, laying it out properly and applying the final touches :) Also i prefer it for creating smooth web graphics from scratch.
    Yeah, i agree its much better for graphical images, put for photos one cannot beat Photoshop.

    Fireworks is a fantastic piece of software. Pen tool manip is a sinch and it's always on pixel preview is really nice for helping with making logos etc. for web work.

    You can't argue with graphics like this:

    both made with fireworks.

    i'm a little torn between the white background (per above) and a transparent background (see below) - there are issues with regards to the darker boards skins and transparency.

    dangerman - you should teach classes in this stuff, truly awesome...

    Wow yeh the transparency makes it look better.

    I'll have a look at solving that later -probably just try some alternate colour schemes so it'll work on a black/dark background, there's also minor alignment issues with the sig i'll fix up too. stay tuned.

    Ok! Well... what you looking for?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭dangerman


    truth be told lads, i just look at a name and if something pops into my head i go for it. Actually doing the sig is the easy part, its coming up with the idea for it, perfect example is the reactor one above. it just spoke to me; once i had the idea it was done in about 20 mins.

    i tried to do a Smoke me a Kipper sig, but what the **** do you do for a guy with the following:

    1. Calls himself smoke me a kipper
    2. has SMAK as cool Back to the Future style logo in sig
    3. Does cartoon strip about live at 3.

    See? All I can think of is a time travelling Derek Davis - but i just can't draw it captain. Or is that won't. :) Just have to wait for inspiration.

    but i'll have a go tonight, cause its not as if i have a proper job or anything to do. (Hint hint, if anyone needs graphic design stuff done...) ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    yeah, Thats it exactly... I can do it, Just need Inspiration! :D:D:D:D ;);););)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,626 ✭✭✭smoke.me.a.kipper
