Create a New Document in Fireworks CS4

This entry is part 2 of 9 in the series Fireworks CS4 Tutorials

The first step to creating a web design in Fireworks CS4 is to create a “New Document”.

To do this:

  1. Open Fireworks CS4
  2. File > New
  3. In the panel that opens, specify the width, height, resolution and background color of your web design.
  4. The width depends on what screen resolution you are designing for e.g. 1024×800 is the most commonly used screen resolution right now so you can design for a width of 1000 pixels and a height of 800.
  5. When designing for a website specify the value 72 pixels/ inch for Resolution.

 

 

 

Save the document with an appropriate name like “Layout.png”. Fireworks File are in the PNG format.
