New logo design... Photoshop, Dreamweaver Etc...

DetailnByDustn · 06-08-09, 09:11

I recently design a logo (check avatar) with photoshop cs4, amazing product and very easy to use. I was wondering does anyone have experience with dreamweaver for designing their websites or flash animation?

I'm a web designer on the side and use Dreamweaver all the time, but only for it's "intellisense" (aka: auto completion). I stay strictly in Code view. Dreamweaver is not used for Flash animation though. For that, you would need to use Adobe Flash. I personally loathe Flash and stay away from it if at all possible. I also use PS CS4.

That looks really good, Dustin.

Last I knew most people use Adobe Illustrator for actual design work like this though. I have PS CS4 myself and really need to get AI to do what I want.

Yes, AI is much better at things like vector logo design that PS could ever be. That being said, you can still produce some nice work in PS.

Just taught myself. I do computer programming as my day job (also self-taught) so figuring out HTML didn't take me too long really. Like I said in my first post, the only reason I use DW is for it's autocompletion and ability to easily structure the code. Once you fool around in there enough, you'll be using strictly Code view in no time.
