This video presentation shows exactly how I made this shiny red download button, using Adobe Fireworks.  It’s rather a simple process and only involves a few objects and some very commonly used properties.

If you would like to download the .PNG file for editing purposes in Fireworks, just click the download button.

Not being a graphical artists and not having any special training or schooling for web graphics,  I’ve always found Adobe Fireworks to be the easiest to use.  It’s simple and effective.  I have trouble getting around in Photoshop, but I’ve always been able to use Fireworks to help create modern day images for my web sites.
