In this tutorial we'll be creating a brick wall in Fireworks. You can follow along with the tutorial or go ahead and download the PNG file to see how it was done.
We're going to pull out some of the Bitmap editing tools (Dodge Tool, Burn Tool, Smudg and Blur Tool) and get a little more artistic in our approach to create an eye catching background for what will be a "Safari" graphic. The idea is to make something that looks like a sunset of an African landscape. I wanted something with lots of color that would really stand out on a page and make a great backdrop for the graphics that will be placed on top of it.
This is part two of the Metal Interface Tutorial or it can be used for creating plastic buttons for another project. These are real simple to make and produce a real nice effect so let's get to it!
