152 Tutorial: Creating Page Mock-ups
Next, you need to give the rectangle an orange fill.
1.
With the rectangle still selected, in the Property inspector, click the Fill
Color box next to the bucket icon.
The Fill Color pop-up window appears.
2.
Type A3210A in the text box at the top of the window, and then
press Enter.
3. Click the Stroke Color box next to the pencil icon, and then click the
Transparent button at the top of the Stroke Color pop-up window.
The rectangle now has an orange fill and no stroke.
Next, you need to resize and position the rounded rectangle. You decide to
do this precisely with the Property inspector.
1.
With the rectangle still selected, in the Property inspector, type 140 in
the width box (W), type 295 in the height box (H), type 0 for the X
position, type 278 for the Y position, and then press Enter to apply the
last value.
The Y position is only an approximation. You can use the arrow keys to
nudge the rounded rectangle up or down until it is centered vertically with
the rounded rectangle you drew earlier. The difference in height between
the two objects is 45 pixels, so the top of the orange rectangle should be
22 or 23 pixels below the top of the dark red rounded rectangle.
2. Save your work.
Create the copy area
Finally, you need to create an off-white rectangle to represent the area
where the web page's text will appear.
1.
Select the Rectangle tool in the Vector section of the Tools panel.
2.
Position the cross-hair pointer in the rounded rectangle you created
earlier and drag downward and to the right to create a horizontal
rectangle for the copy area.
You can draw the rectangle anywhere on the canvas. You'll resize and
position it later.
When you release the mouse button, a rectangle appears, selected, in
the area you defined.
