Hi

I do some web design using Fireworks, but I have often wondered where some of the images come from that people use on some sites like www.templatemonstor.com.

I do have some ideas on my head of sites I would like to try and make.

I am not sure if I should be using Fireworks or some other app, or maybe a combination of software packages.

I see loads of nice looking images even on this forum and would like to have a go myself, but I am not quite sure where I should start.

Thanks

Believe it or not, photoshop has made a great percentage of forums on that site. Fireworks can come out with similar effects, it DOES take practise and imagination though

Apart from Free Stock Galleries they also use purchaseware Galleries

Be very very careful using any images of people without written permission unless otherwise stated.

TemplateMonster is PS, Flash & SwishMax btw they normally provide all images, .PSD; .HTML; .FLA; .SWF; and SWI's

Ah, yea... Stock images - I thought you was refering to the interface

Hi thank you for the replies.

I will take a look at the sites. I have heard of Corbis.com before.

With regards to images like http://pixel2life.co.../08-03-2005.jpg , can Fireworks be used to create images like this?

Or should I be looking at some other software app?

Thanks

I made that in Cinema 4D. A 3D program created by Maxon.

Fireworks is a 2D program meaning its flat. If i wanted to get another angle on my image I could rotate the camera and render a different image.

Its not the program you use though, its the way you use it. I've seen great things with MSPaint.

ms paint can do the same as photoshop... pixel by pixel

It seems may be I should consider switching to something that can do 3d.

I just wanted to have a tinker around. I know a simpl-ish image that I would like to make. But I wanted to find out what is available and if there is support like pixel2life for it.

Thanks
