    3. Make the graphic size at least 40.
    4. Make your canvas color something match the background of the index.html page you just set up .
    5. Make your font a color that compliments the canvas and can be read easily.
    6. Trim your canvas so you don't have any excess canvas.
    7. Add some type of effect--I don't want to see just plain text. Spruce it up!
  5. Save your .png in your Graphics_Practice folder. Call the file heading_fw.png.

  8. Save the page.
  9. Open up the index.html page in your browser.
