Cheers

[raja]

oops sorry i just tested it its flattend not layered devin.

[Zoe20]

awesome Devin and raja . Devib can you share the source png.

[davep]

my gradient's not quite right but it's not too bad

 

[Zoe20]

very nice davep and devins can u share the png ?

[davep]

that is the FW png if you click on it then the lightbox pic comes up then you can save it, open it as a png in fireworks. or right click this http://pp.kpnet.fi/p...stuff/zz1-2.png and save as

 

 

the biggest problem i had - that dev seems to have achieved better - is placing the highlights so close to the other gradient stops - very tricky with so little space in the gradient editor. there was an extension ages ago to make this easier but i didnt find it again i did consider making the highlights as separate layer - but didnt have any more time.

 

i also made one rectangle with the blue gradient then grouped the strips or ribbons together then cut them out of this flat gradient block - that way all the gradients line up.

 

it certainly was a bit of a challange

[Zoe20]

yes your really good at it. ALso i really impressed u used the hue and saturation. Very nice. BTW welcoem to the Forum this forum needs taleneted people like u to make it more active. Welcome again to the FW family.

Devin you atatched the flattened PNG its not a source layered png can you please share it so that we can learn soem thing out of it .Especially the way you used the gradients. Thanks in advance

[davep]

thanks zoe. lol actually i joined in 2007! but i forgot about this until i restored some old bookmarks so though i'd pop in again

 

i found the plugin http://pixelyzed.com...dobe-fireworks/ (scroll down to number 2)

 

would have been so much easier to have made it with this. i might tweak my version now i've found this... you can zoom into nodes so makes it a lot easier to accurately place highlight colours for example.
