Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004
Image editing and Web graphics creation software

Macromedia Fireworks is one of about a dozen applications I use every single working day of my life. Designed originally as a relatively simple Web graphics tool, it has developed over the last few years into a more general-purpose graphics creation and image-editing application, along with the original Web animation and and optimization tools that have allowed it to survive and thrive amid the wreckage of those who have ill-advisedly made a play for a piece of Adobe Photoshop's market share.

On the Road to Delhi
Stroking and Roving in AE6.0

Classic B-movies used all sorts of low budget conventions to get the hero from one exotic location to the next. Raiders of the Lost Ark paid homage to these classic movies and techniques by using the now classic animated line moving from country to country tracking the flight path of the plane the hero was traveling in.
