Join us as Visual Designer Gilberto Medrano shows how to use Adobe Fireworks to create web site designs. He will demonstrate his favorite techniques and explain how he uses various features of Fireworks to go from a sketch to production ready graphics.
Gilberto is a senior designer at Engine Yard Inc. in San Francisco. With a background in architecture, Gilberto became interested on software product design back in 1998, and has been applying his experience in the architectural design process to this medium since then. His passion for design gave him the opportunity to work and live in several countries such as Israel, India, Costa Rica and US.
Gilberto is an advocate for a holistic and Agile approach towards product design and implementation, wearing multiple hats across several UX disciplines and doing front-end engineering to ensure proper design integration. He has experience creating products based on technologies like RubyOnRails, Eclipse, .NET and Drupal. Fireworks has been his "swiss-army-knife" tool for anything related to design for the last 10 years, for both interaction and visual design.
When he is not hypnotized by the monitor, he enjoys spending time with his greater passion: his loving wife and his cute little daughter.
