Today's session

Today we're going to be doing a mix of things. We'll look at how your email interviews are going - whether you need to send follow-ups, what kind of material you've got etc. Those of you who weren't here last week - I'll go over what we talked about last week and help you sort out someone to interview and a list of questions.

Next we'll look at some ideas about how to write effectively online - in particular the views of usability guru Jakob Nielsen.

Next, we'll work some more on building your knowledge of Fireworks. We're going to do a tutorial from a manual that will help you learn how to draw shapes and add colours and effects. The aim is to give you some skills you can then use to start creating some of the graphics for your web sites - from buttons to banners.
