Could anyone tell me how this is done?

Could someone give me an idea of how to achieve the graphic design on this web page....I have no idea how to create the curves. I am somewhat familiar with Photoshop but I assume this was probablly done with Illustator or another program similar.???
Thanks for any help!

I think it was done in Fireworks actually. It's a nice program, very like Photoshop but great web features.

Thanks blueark. Could you possibly recommend any tutorials that would result in my learning to achieve these affects...I guess Fireworks tutorials.
By the way, I am curious how you came to the conclusion this was probablly done in Fireworks? I am learning...so any knowledge I can gain is great!!
Thanks

Fireworks comes with an excellent step-by-step tutorial that covers all the basics, so start with that. The files it creates are .PNG files, but for compatibility it exports webpages as a collection of slices, a bit like Illustrator's Save For Web functions. If you look at the source for that site, it contains lines like this:

<!-- fwtable fwsrc=&quot;splashpage2.png&quot; fwbase=&quot;spldf&quot; fwstyle=&quot;Generic&quot; fwdocid = &quot;742308039&quot; fwnested=&quot;1&quot; -->

fw stands for fireworks. It inserts lines like the above into the html code so that it knows how to refer to the master document on the production computer. It also make it easier for the whole Macromedia suite of web development tools to keep track of what each component is doing.
