Two groups of Year 10 students from St. Edmund’s Catholic School have visited the CLC over the last two days for introductory sessions to Adobe Fireworks. During the sessions, students have learned to use both the bitmap (photo) and vector editing tools of Fireworks to edit and combine digital images and to create simple logos.

Sample images from the sessions can be found in the this album in our gallery section:
