How to Create Before and After Designs
Start by heading to the Graphic Designer and searching Before and After in the search bar. This will take you to the collection of Before and After templates to start as the base of your project.
Step 1: Choose a Template
Once you've found a template you like, click the Use This Template button. This will open your selected template into your canvas so that you can start modifying it to meet your needs.
Step 2: Upload Your Images
Under the Image Manager tab, you can select the images from your computer, or you can drag and drop your images into the Image Manager. Once you have them uploaded, drag the images you want to use into the existing image cells on the canvas.
If your image is not centered in the frame that is on the canvas, you can double-click to move the pane of your frame. Then, drag the image back onto the appropriate position on your canvas.
Step 3: Customize the Graphics
If you like the existing graphics but not the colors, you can edit the color by clicking on the graphic on the canvas, navigating to the Color Overlay drop-down, and selecting the color with the Color Picker you prefer.
If you want to choose new graphics entirely, navigate to the Graphics tab and search our extensive Graphics Library for the type of graphic you prefer, and then drag and drop the graphic into your canvas.
For graphics with preset colors, you can edit them under Graphic Colors. You can also add an overlay, tint, or drop shadow as you would with any other graphics.
Step 4: Customize the Before and After Text
If you want to change the Before and After text style, you can double-click on the text box to customize elements such as size, color, font, and more.
Save Your Before and After Design
Once you are satisfied with your design, click the Save button at the top of your interface and save it to your desired location.
