206 Tutorial: Creating a Page Banner
f. Use the slider to set the opacity of the second gradient color
to 50%.
4. Press Enter to accept the settings, and then draw a rectangle over the
Cafe Townsend logo in the banner.
When you release the mouse button, a semi-transparent rectangle
appears over the logo.
5. Select the Pointer tool (or press V) and drag the blue corner points of
the rectangle to position and resize the rectangle so that it is within and
slightly smaller than the logo.
The rectangle obscures the logo beneath it. You want to change the
stacking order of the two objects so that the rectangle is beneath
the logo.
6. In the Logo layer of the Layers panel, drag the rectangle object so that it
is below the logo object (called "Group: 3 objects").
The logo is now properly displayed, with the rectangle highlighting
rather than obscuring the logo.
7.
Save your work.
