How to navigate our Design Tool, edit your Template and even change Templates from within the Design Tool!
Let's start with the 9 icons you need to know!
1) The first icon on the top left of the page is the Size/Option selection. You can change your product type, the size, the Special Options and the quantity from the Size/Options icon.
** When you see the lock icon closed, you can adjust the size but you cannot change the ratio unless you unlock the lock **
2) The second icon is for Templates that are related to the Product you choose. You can scroll through them and click on a template and then add to it and make it your own. You can also change to another type of product as well.
3) The Third icon is for FREE Stock Images. You can select any one of them by clicking on the image. You can then resize the image by dragging the tiny white squares around the edges of the image. The corner white icons will keep the ratio of your image in proportion. The other white icons will make it narrow or wider, or shorter or taller.
4) The fourth icon is Shapes. You can click on any shape to add it to your design and change it's size and color. To change the color of any shape, first make sure the shape is selected (it will have the white squares around the image), then click on the square color icon at the top next to the Size/Options icon. Then select a color.
5) The fifth icon is the Upload icon. You can upload your own image or file from this icon. Just click on 'Upload your files' and select your image file from your computer or phone. You can add as many images to your sign as you need. And you can resize them as well.
6) The sixth icon is the Add Text icon. This icon is used the most and has lots of options. Once you click on the icon, you can select the font, change the color as well as the size.
To change the text itself, type it into the box in the upper right where it says 'Enter Text Here'.
To change the font, just click on the drop down arrow next to the font and select another font.
To change the color just click on the square box with the color in it and select another color.
To change the size of the text, just drag the text from one of the small white squares around it.
When Text is selected (confirm by making sure the tiny 8 square white boxes are around the border of your text) the upper bar in the design tool that appears is extremely helpful. The items on the right side will appear when any text or image is selected. You can do the following things with text or images that are selected:
Align your text or image, crop images, there are 'fit' and 'fill' options, you can adjust the Opacity, you can duplicate the image or text, and you can delete the selected items.
One of the most important tools to know is the 'Position' icon (see third photo below, it looks like a down arrow). Once you click on the down arrow icon a pop out box reveals small squares that look like they are layered. If you have a background layer on top of your text and want to move it below the text, you would select the background layer and click on the left icon (black below the white square icon), keep clicking until the background is moved back enough layers so that it is now behind the text. This is how you move image layers 'forward' or 'backwards'. There are 'move back', 'send to back', 'move forward' and 'send to front'.

7) The seventh icon is the Background icon. This icon can remove any transparency layer and let you choose a background color.
8) The eighth icon is to help you generate a QR code. Just put in the website address that you want people to go to and click on Generate.
9) The nineth icon is the Layers icon. This is a quick way to select a layer (image, text, shape, etc) so that you can quickly move it around or resize it.
