Behind the design
As always, here are some insights from the designer herself:
"This is my first avatar set that I made from scratch using Adobe Fireworks CS3. My inspiration for the set were the avatars made by Iconka. After seeing how they made it look easy with a different program, I had to try it with Fireworks.
I've done vector graphics before, using Flash and Photoshop, but this set was a learning experience for me. The reason why I used Fireworks is because we only had one copy of Adobe CS3 Web Premium, and my officemate already uses Photoshop on his computer. I made this initially as a set of profile images for use by our client, but it eventually evolved into something more personal.
It emphasizes how much fun I had learning Fireworks, that I just made more for my friends."
Thank you very much, Michael! We appreciate your efforts.
