2. Working with imagery

  • Click twice to reveal the cropping and shift image within the picture window.
  • Maintain proportions—Hold down the shift key to maintain proportions.
  • Avoid stray background colors in logos—Use a transparent png version of your logo or wordmark for best results to avoid a “white box” when adding logos to a colored background. Maintain contrast and legibility when choosing where to place a logo on an existing image or background color.
  • Resize your image without distortion— Click twice on the image you wish to edit to reveal the ability to crop and decrease or increase the image size within the picture box when needed. HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY to maintain the aspect ratio.
