Adding background

“

- [Instructor] I think we're at the point now where we actually need a background in here. So, let's go ahead and add one. I'm going to just scroll down here in the starter assets. And there's a gradient at the bottom that I quite like the look of, this one here, this diagonal gradient, and I'm going to just simply drag that in, and drop it on an empty area of the canvas there. And you can see, straightaway, that it's applied that as a background. And just so you know, although of course I'm not meant to be teaching you about dimension as such, you can also go ahead and bring in a background. If you go to the File menu and choose Import you can choose Image as Background there and it will come in in the same way. Perfect, so now we've got our whole document here. What we need, I think, is some text. And, by the way, to change your view in the way that I just did Cmd + 0 or Ctrl + 0.
