Step 2: Creating a Persona Footer Image
The footer image is displayed as the background of the bottom of the browser window, behind the status and find bars. It will be anchored to the bottom-left corner of the browser window.
- Dimensions should be 3000px wide x 100px high
- PNG or JPG file format
- subtle, soft contrast images and gradients work best
- highly detailed images will compete with the browser status bar UI
- Firefox may reveal more of the upper portion of the image if the find bar is open or if an extension adds more height to the bottom of the window
- the right-hand side of the image should have the most important information - as a user increases the width of the browser window, the browser reveals more of the left-hand side of the image
- images must be no larger than 300kb in filesize
- images over 3000px x 100px will not be approved
- never use artwork/logos/photography that you do not have the legal rights to use - you will have to prove you have the rights if the content is questioned
