Step 17: Add Graphics To Splash Page

By now it should be clear that we could go on improving the Tarmac Travel web forever. All webs are like this, and it's important to know when to stop!

In the case of this Tarmac Travel web, obviously a lot more improvements could be made. However, we'll end this tutorial now by adding one finishing touch: an upgrade of the splash page.

To upgrade the splash page, we replace the text message with some graphics. To see the improvement, take a look at the Old Splash Page and then the New Splash Page.

Here's how the new splash images were created.

Splash Text "Are you ready to hit the tarmac?"
   Font=Mook 24pt, AntiAlias, Colour=Black
   Font=Amco Display SSi, 24pt, Antialias, Colour=Black
   Alien.DropShadow(X=4,y=4,Blur=5,Opacity=60%,Colour=Black).
Splash Iceberg
   Start with Corel Image 20002
   Select a horizontal slice
   Expand with white
   Select the outer border
   Pixellate.Crystalize(Size=4)
   Alien.DropShadow(X=4,y=4,Blur=5,Opacity=60%,Colour=Black).
