Join the Raleigh Durham Adobe User Group and the Triangle User Experience for the first of many shared meetings!  Presenting first will be Ben Farrell and Eric Coker taking you through the basics of Adobe Fireworks CS3.  Eric will specifically be covering image exporting, and Ben will be covering a basic workflow from Photoshop to Fireworks to Dreaweaver or to Flex.  For those of you who don't know, Fireworks is the best program you've never used - it saves loads of production time if you can integrate into your workflow properly, and we'll show you just how to do that, along with some basic features.

Next, as our groups join forces and meet, we'll be asking those with an idea or a desire to learn speak up and let us know what's on your mind.
The "Project Incubator" is our idea to get innovative ideas out there and get skilled people together on these innovative ideas.  Here's how it works....You present an idea you have for a project, let us know what your goals are and if you'd like to make money on it or just bask in fame for doing something very cool.  As a group, we'll ask you questions, offer our critiques and concerns over how to meet goals, what wrinkles lie ahead for your plan, etc..  At the end of the meeting, we'll all socialize and see if people would like to help you on your project or vice versa.  It's like a support group for future web/software inventors and renown artists!

If you're just starting out, and are a little shy to talk projects - maybe your a beginner and are still learning, we'll also host the "Learning Incubator" portion of the group.  Here we'll be asking those with a desire to learn a particular subject to speak up.  We'll try to put some groups together to learn a subject, and hopefully we'll put groups with a volunteer instructor.

And lastly, we'll be providing one lucky winner with a software prize worth up to $2100.  If you present a project idea to the incubator, or offer your expertise to lead a group to learn a particular subject, we'll give you a raffle ticket to win the Adobe software prize.
