Import the logo

Next you import a vector-based graphic of the Cafe Townsend logo. Vector graphics are one of two types of graphics you can create, import, or modify in Fireworks. For more information, see About bitmap and vector graphics.

The file you import was created as a vector graphic in Fireworks and saved in the Adobe Illustrator format (an AI file), a common format for graphic design work.

  1. With the banner_graphic.png file open in Fireworks, zoom in to full size by selecting 100% from the magnification pop-up menu if you haven't done so already.
  2. Select File > Import and browse to the following folder on your hard disk:

    local_sites/cafe_townsend/fireworks_assets/

  3. Select cafeLogo.ai and click Open.

    The Vector File Options dialog box appears. This is where you can adjust how a vector file is imported.



  4. Click OK to accept the default options.
  5. Position the insertion pointer inside the upper-left corner of the banner and click to insert the graphic.

    At this point the logo is not clearly visible because it's black and transparent against the dark background image. You'll highlight it later so that it better stands out.

  6. Save your work.
