Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for giving many tutorials on web designing. I’ve been watching and learning adobe fireworks when i first saw your videos on youtube. I’ve done some web design and some mock up with it. It cannot match yours but it is fun. Thank you.

@Jali – Thanks for the nice words. Glad you’re able to pick up a few things from my tutorials. Hope to continue to put out more.

I’m having a hard time, probably because your demo is in black and it’s hard to see on the screen…but when I duplicate your instructions I can’t get the bottom to be black…when I hit the transparency it then turns the whole image the lighter grey from the top. Any suggestions??

Thanks

@ Debi – You have to make sure your canvas is set to black. Then when you hit transparency, the black background appears.

Hi Michael, I came across your website when trying to figure out how to create an exciting background. Thanks for sharing the info; I’ll check out your tutorials on youtube.

Awesome tutorial. Especially since you suggested a site, and then showed step by step how to use the pattern, thanks !

One question did you mean opacity instead of transparent?

You should export as png. They result in much smaller file sizes and cleaner images when working with graphics than jpg’s do.

i followed your instructions and everything went well until i pressed transparency and the patters disappeared and it was just all the little squares over my chosen colour, any idea what i’m doing wrong?
