While the sprites in your logo can create a specific look or tell a story so can the area behind the logo called the backdrop.

In this video, you will add a backdrop to your project.




Select a backdrop.


Go to and select images.

Search for an image.

To find an image that fits the Scratch stage, select tools and change the size to 480 by 360.


Once you find an image download it to your computer.


Then return to Scratch.

Select upload backdrop from file.

And select the file you downloaded.

To resize an image click, hold and drag a rectangle around it.

Then, click, hold and drag the edges to the appropriate size.

Great job.

Now it's your turn.

Select a backdrop from the library or add an image from the internet.
