All right. In this tutorial we're gonna mock up some of the big kind of structured areas using the rectangle tool. Now, the rectangle tool for the people that are web designers know that it creates essentially div tags that you can pull the style and size and colors and things from later on. So you've gotta make sure you're using this rectangle tool here. If you can't find the rectangle tool, click hold, drag it down, and you might find that the last tool you're using the ellipse tool, you might have to hold it down and grab the rectangle tool. What we're gonna do is, if you're following along using my template, I'm going to, there's an option here, it says, called Delete me.
I am gonna actually delete that 'cause it gets rid of these little green boxes. That's my little advertising bits there. So I'm gonna bend him, I'm gonna zoom in a little bit, command plus, and I'm gonna zoom in so I can see the edges of my desktop view. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start creating, okay, so my first box is going to be my big kinda main hero image, and I'm gonna use this purple here. So I'm gonna click that or pick it from your swatches panel. And I'm gonna click hold and drag.
And what you'll notice is that I can drag over the edges. It's no problem. Okay? And it wraps to the edges there. Now, if yours has gone the wrong color, like mine has, it's remember the last color, even though my foreground color says Be this lovely new, bring your laptop purple. What you can do is just click on it again and it will dry change.
Or if I go to undo, I can click up here and pick the color from my swatches panel. Great. And so that's gonna be my big kind of hero graphic image. What I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna add my nav bar. So I'm gonna use the rectangle tool again and I'm gonna click hold and drag over the top here. And I'm guessing a little bit.
Okay, so this is gonna be my navigation bar. What I wanna do is fill it with black. Now black is somewhere in the top of your swatches here. Um, or you can use it from up here. I'll pick this as my foreground color. Great.
So that's going to be my navigation panel. What we're gonna do in the end is we're gonna have an image underneath the navigation that we can still see. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna have this, um, nav bar selected. The way I know it's selected, I can see it here in my layers pan. What I'm gonna do is double click the word rectangle and call this one nav bar. And I'll call this one here Graphic.
Now on the nav bar here, I've got this one called opacity, and if I lower the opacity a little bit, okay, um, maybe down to about 80%. What you'll notice is that if I lower it right down, can you see it's actually quite transparent over the top of the background. Now this is up to you and how much our C3 you want it to be. And we'll change it probably later on when we get our image underneath. But from the moment, that's how you change the opacity of any of your rectangles. Next thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna shuffle across here and for this tutorial, we're gonna skip tablet just so that the tutorial's not, uh, 10 hours long.
I'm gonna do a mobile version. Okay? So on mobile, how I know I'm a mobile, you can see I'm here in my layers panel is the extra small version. I'm gonna go into this and delete where my name and my website is, delete that, don't need that. And What we're gonna do though is we're gonna zoom out. So I'm gonna close that, pop it in, zoom out a little bit.
And what I wanna do is take these rectangles and move them across. So I'm gonna switch to my move tool. I'm gonna use my trick we learned in the early video by holding command down. I'm gonna click the rectangle, okay, which is my nav bar, and I'm gonna drag it across, holding the al key. And what the alt key member dragging that will do is it will make a copy as it moves across, and to get it in the right function, the right bit, you might have to give a little wiggle, but there it looks like it's perfectly lined up. Great.
I'm gonna move this one across as well. So this purple one here, holding EE down. Okay. And it's selected the hero graphic. I'm gonna hold the alt key and drag it across. I'm gonna move it so it lines up perfectly Great.
We've got a slight problem where the hero graphic is above the nav bar. So all we need to do is to change the order of this is click hold and drag the hero underneath the nav. Okay? So I've got my desktop and my mobile view with my two rectangles, and these rectangles are gonna be used as the structure or the DIB tags for my website.
