BASICS - THREE PART VIDEO TUTORIAL

My Zazzle Design Templates

I am neither a tutor or video-maker but hopefully my ramblings will show you how it all works and give you some ideas and inspiration of what can be achieved in just a few short minutes if you find a design which is almost, but not quite, what you want.

Follow the 3 part series below to learn how to:

  1. Personalize

  2. Modify

  3. Transform

For most cases, you will only need to personalize the template and won’t need the lessons in videos 2 and 3.

Basics Tutorial - Part 1

This basics tutorial is a 3 part series using one of my wedding invitations as an example to show you how to personalize a template, make simple changes and add new design elements.

In Part 1 we cover everything that most customers will need to know.

  • How to use the personalization template

  • Print preview

  • Purchase options

Basics Tutorial - Part 2

In Part 2 we progress to making simple edits in the design tool to change the look entirely. This will be useful if your personalized text doesn’t fit the design or you want to make some color changes. We cover:

  • Tour of the design tool

  • Changing fonts, font colors, font sizing and spacing

  • Making multiple selections

  • The eyedropper tool and finding hex codes

  • Changing background colors and shape colors
