Graphic Designers, do you prefer Illustrator or Fireworks?

Illustrator is much better than Fireworks. Anyway now both are Adobe products. Probably they might shut Fireworks down pretty soon. \n\nAnyway I'm Fireworks user, it is pretty good also. But I know Illustrator has lot more features and I guess Adobe is going to keep Illustrator instead of Fireworks. In long run Iluustrator is best solution

Graphic design is creating art with computer software. Its no where near photography.

Id go with UML also - especially if its a detailed dynamic site.\n\nMy process is:\n1. Concept (UML)\n2. Pen & Paper wireframes (or wireframes in Photoshop/Fireworks)\n3. Basic colors in wireframes.\n4. Design\n5. Code your CSS\n6. HTML Shell for all pages\n7. Build Database\n8. Tweak HTML, Design and CSS\n9. Add Dynamic code\n10. Tweak\n11. Tweak

Find a Graphic Designer who's starting up and needs work for their portfolio.  Helps both of you out.  Hang signs at a near by college.

I also use Microsoft Publisher.  It is an awesome program and has already made design templates that you can use or alter to fit your needs.  Good luck!

Read both would be my advise. They are both such different things.\nComics can have great artwork!

There are so many choices for this, and I am obsessed with graphic making. \n\nThere are Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Adobe ImageReady,  PhotoImpact Pro... and for animation etc. Windows Movie Maker, Animation Shop, Adobe Premiere.\n\nAlso don't forget Macromedia. They have programs to do different things like Dreamweaver (for help with designing web pages), and others like Flash and Fireworks.

EXTREMELY APOLOGETIC AND SORRY IF I HAVE HURT U,\nBUT WHY DON'T U USE COREL DRAW WHICH HAS MORE FEATURES THAN ILLUSTRATOR\n\nIT IS ALSO EASY TO USE. &  USER FRIENDLY

Personally I'd go with Dreamweaver, but that's because I like the very good integration in the whole suite of products, Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks. \n\nWhich one you find easier to use will depend on your familiarity with other products. If you're a PhotoShop expert, then GoLive will be an easier learning curve than Dreamweaver.\n\nApparently the Dreamweaver vs. GoLive debate has been raging between fans. Perhaps it's been "decided" now that Adobe has ownership of both products, and the current suite that they're pushing is Dreamweaver (Studio 8).
