In this series of videos, we are going to look at a workflow paradigm which takes advantage of some of the new tools in Fireworks CS3. Primarily focusing on Pages, Master Pages, Hierarchical layers and Shared layers, we'll see how a design can go from concept to working prototype for client approval.

The first in our series dealt with pages, shared layers and hierarchical layers and my logic for using this method. This is a method I might use in the early comping stages; a point where we've gotten past rough sketches on paper and want/need to engage the client further.

The second part of the series added a Master Page Feature, Shared Web Layers and hot spots for interactivity, Rich Symbols and 9-slice enabled graphic symbols. Certain design decisions were made and we had received approval for most of the common elements that would appear on each page (header, footer, navigation). We ended part two by creating a working prototype that the client can test live on a staging server.

Please join me in this tutorial, where I will show you how to create the Checkers pieces to go along with the Checkers Board we made in Part 1, using Illustrator tools and techniques.

The Tokyo JumpStart looks at how we can use the flexibility of a CSS layout to control the number of columns on any given page from a single CSS file.

The Tokyo JumpStart provides the easiest of solutions for changing the amount of columns on a page - you simply need to add a class to the body tag and the CSS takes care of everything else for you!

Tokyo is a centered, two-column or three-column, 770 pixel fixed-width layout that has many appealing design features.
