Creating Graphics and Buttons

The wealth of resources from the Adobe website continues. Have you ever found yourself needing to create a quick graphic or, you're in the middle of designing a website and need a button in a hurry?

Online, Adobe gives your that ability. Follow the above link over to the Adobe website and an online editing and drawing tool is at your disposal.

The interface, appropriately enough, looks very similar to the one you would see when working with all Adobe products. For our purposes, you're working in a mini-Photoshop environment.

Just as, last month, we created a banner using the online interactive feature, follow the steps to quickly and beautifully create your graphic online. Of importance if you're using this tool for web design is the ability to configure how the image will display.

The "Save for Web" screen lets you apply last minute configuration so that you can get the graphic in the exact format that you require.

When you're all done, right click (Windows) or click and hold on the graphic (Macintosh) and save it to disk. It's now ready to incorporate into your work of art.
