Define: ouroboros – Funky Snakey Graphics in Fireworks

Posted by Carly Lyddiard on Aug 27th, 2007

So, in an effort to improve my mad graphics-making skillz (to further my plan to single-handedly take over the world via the interwebs) I have been using Fireworks on recommendation from my friend and colleague Matt Stow (aka Stowbocop).

Matt has recently published a tutorial on how to create those cool circular spinning snake-type animations. Behold! One I have prepared earlier, especially for palegoldenrod! Isn’t it awethome?

And yes, before you say anything I do know that it is spinning “backwards”, I did it so that the p in palegoldenrod is leading the head of the snake… just… just look at the coolness, don’t be so pedantic! :-P

Well, you too can make one of these things (minus the sweet text, unless you are smrat enough to google how to produce said sweet text, like I did). Here is Matt’s tutorial.

Thanks for sharing cool stuff, Matt. And for unwittingly assisting me with my plan for world domination. Muahahaha
