preparing the image
1. In fritzing, open the breadboard tap, drag in the components of your circuit and connect them with wires. this will automatically generate a schematic drawing and PCB layout.
2. Make sure everything is connected properly and then open the PCB tab to arrange the circuit as you please.
3. Export as image (svg/png).
4. Edit your image in an image editor of choice to create a black on white vector image.
lines can be merely decorative or functional, connecting different pin outs.
