After you create a new PNG file for the banner, you want to import a photo to serve as the background image for the graphic. You also want to import the Cafe Townsend logo.

You start by creating a new PNG file for the banner.

If you haven't already set up a working folder, you must do so before you begin. For instructions, see Create a working folder.

  1. In Fireworks, select File > New.
  2. In the New Document dialog box, do the following:
    • Enter 700 for the width and 92 for the height. Ensure that both measurements are in pixels.
    • Set the canvas color to Custom and select black from the custom color menu
  3. Click OK to create the document.

    If the Document window isn't maximized, that is, if it doesn't fill the center of the screen, maximize it by clicking the Maximize button (Windows) or the zoom box (Macintosh) at the top of the Document window. This step will give you plenty of room to work.

  4. Select File > Save and browse to the following folder on your hard disk:

    local_sites/cafe_townsend/images/

  5. Name the file banner_graphic.png.

    NOTE

    On the Macintosh, select the Add Filename Extension option if it's not already selected.

  6. Click Save.
