| A to Z of Affinity Designer: Tips, Tricks, and Hacks! Posted: 24 Jun 2021 12:00 AM PDT I'm going to come right out and say it: Affinity Designer is the best overall graphics application package on the market right now.    In this A to Z of Affinity Designer, I'm going to back up that statement by showing you 26 of its standout features, unique strengths, useful tools, and tips & tricks. And as I do, I'm also going to show you some of the awesome assets you can use with Affinity Designer from the massive collection at Envato Elements. You'll see brushes, stock photos, vector graphics, logos, T-shirt designs... and that's just scratching the surface of what's included in a single monthly subscription. What You Will LearnIn this article I'm going to pack in as many Affinity Designer tips and tricks as possible in a short space of time. The topics will include:
We're going to see a whole bunch of cool features, so without further ado, let's jump in! And if you'd rather watch than read, check out the video version on our Envato Tuts+ YouTube Channel: A is for ArtboardsAffinity Designer allows you to create multiple artboards, which are independent sub-canvases within your document. On desktop, you can access the Artboard tool from the Tools panel, and on iPad you can activate it from the Document menu.    Additionally, if you're wondering how to change the background color in Affinity Designer, using artboards is actually the correct way. After creating an artboard, you can select it and then change its background color as you would with any other shape.    B is for Brushes From PhotoshopYou can easily take any set of Photoshop brushes and turn them into Affinity Designer brushes. That includes all of the 600+ brush sets in the collection you get access to when you join Envato Elements. Just go to the Pixel Persona, then the Brushes panel. Click in the top-right corner to open the menu, click Import Brushes, and then browse for and select your brush files.    These raster brushes can be used to create awesome Affinity Designer art, such as pencil sketching, traditional painterly styles, comic-style inking, texturing, you name it. C is for Continuous ExportYou can file this one under "awesome Affinity Designer tips and tricks": In the Export Persona, you can create image slices and then set them to be continuously exported as you work on your design.    This means if you're integrating your image exports into an external project, like a website or game, you can just design away, and any time you check on your project, your images will always be in their latest state. D is for Dual Image Type EditingAffinity Designer's Vector Persona and Pixel Persona combination means you get pro-level raster editing and vector editing in the same unified application. So not only can you do both types of graphics without switching software, but you can do both in the same designs.    For example, you can create your main shapes as vectors, then use Affinity Designer to add texture to those shapes using the kinds of raster brushes we mentioned a moment ago. Bonus trivia: Serif's goal of creating an affinity between multiple methods of graphic design is the reason they chose the name "Affinity". E is for Embedding External DesignsYou can take one Affinity Designer document and embed it into another one, as many times as you like. When you make changes to the embedded document, you'll see the instances in the main document update in real time.    This functionality can largely fill the non-destructive editing role that smart objects play in Photoshop. It allows you to make all kinds of edits while preserving the original image, and making it easy to replace with a new one. Pictured: Abstract Responsive Mockup by QalebStudio. Stock images "Healthy Breakfast" and "Shortbread Cookies". F is for Freehand Line StabilizingIn the case of both Affinity Designer drawing and Affinity Designer vector art, the excellent freehand "window" and "rope" stabilization tools can be incredibly helpful. They are available on the pencil and brush tools in the Vector Persona, as well as on the brush, eraser, and pixel tools in the Pixel Persona.    The rope stabilizer is great if you want your lines to have sharp corners, while the window stabilizer creates smooth corners. You can also combine these stabilizers with pen pressure for high levels of freehand drawing control. G is for Grid GloriousnessAffinity Designer has an outstanding grid management system. You can create ten different types of grids, including square, isometric, oblique, triangular, plus a bunch of others.    In particular it has the most advanced isometric grid system currently available in any vector application, because you can activate the Edit in Plane and Fit to Plane options and then use all the usual shape drawing tools directly in isometric perspective, as though you were working in 3D. H is for History BranchesAs well as having history that can be saved into the document so it's included if you share the file, Affinity Designer's history also includes "branches". If you go back a few steps in your history and start making changes, a new branch will be created in your History panel.    At that branch, you'll then have two different possible histories, and you can click the branch icon and toggle between one history and another at any time. This way, if you want to go back and try something different, you can do so without losing the work that you've already created up to that point. I is for Import Adobe FilesAffinity Designer has the best PSD import of any graphics program I've used to date. It's the only application I've seen that can import with 100% accuracy, consistently, regardless of the content of the original file. You can also very effectively import Illustrator AI, EPS, and SVG files into Designer.    So if you've been mulling over the perks of Affinity Designer vs. Illustrator, you don't necessarily have to choose between the two. That's because you can always import your files from Illustrator into Designer and work on them in both programs. And let's say you're browsing Envato Elements looking for an Affinity Designer logo. The robust and accurate importing of multiple file formats means you have a lot of options available, in addition to the logos specifically made for Designer. Pictured: Panda Samurai logo by Blankids J is for Control-J to Power DuplicatePower duplication lets you quickly create several duplicates of an object with progressive transforms and rotations applied. For example, you could quickly create a grid of repeating tile graphics by duplicating an initial tile and offsetting it to the side, then repeatedly hitting Control-J. Every duplicate will repeat that same initial offset, forming a row.    You can then select that whole row, duplicate it, offset it downwards, and again hit Control-J repeatedly to create as many rows as you like. The same thing can also be done with rotation to do things like creating a flower illustration, for example. K is for Keyboard Customization on Desktop and iPadThe iPad version of Affinity Designer has full keyboard support, and all the keyboard shortcuts on both it and the desktop version can be fully customized.    Both versions have hotkeys for every tool, and they can be set uniquely in each of the personas, or you can use the same hotkeys across similar tools such as the vector brush vs. the pixel brush. L is for Layer Panel Drag and DropThe Affinity Designer Layers panel makes it really easy to set up clipping shapes or to target adjustment layers, just by dragging and dropping layers into the right place. For easy clipping setup, just drag and drop a layer or group onto the layer you want to use as a clipping shape. To target an adjustment layer, drag and drop it onto the layer or group you want the adjustment to affect.    M is for Mobile DesignThe Affinity Designer iPad version has almost complete feature parity with the desktop version. I personally now use it more than l do the desktop version.    With the addition of the Apple Pencil into the mix, it also gives you the advantages of drawing directly on the screen, plus touch-based interactions such as two-finger tap to undo, pinch to zoom, using a finger to physically smudge with the smudge tool, and so on. The experience can be even better if you're using Affinity Designer on iPad Pro, with its large display and additional system resources. N is for Noise That ScalesIf you want to know how Affinity Designer can add texture, one of the most accessible and versatile ways is through the vector-friendly noise tool that can be used as a part of setting fill colors.    All you have to do is set the Noise slider to whatever amount you like, and a grain-style texture will be added to your shape. This noise will recalculate itself and scale to whatever level you zoom, making it an outstanding way to add texture to your vector shapes. O is for Opacity Gradients With the Transparency ToolGrab the Transparency Tool and just drag it over any shape to instantly add a fade-out effect.    What this does behind the scenes is automatically create a layer with a black-to-white gradient, then set it as a layer mask so you end up with an opacity gradient. And because this tool creates a gradient, you can then edit that gradient to fully control the transparency, change the position and strength of the stops, and switch the shape of the gradient to elliptical, radial, or conical. P is for Palettes From Colour ChordsAffinity Designer palettes can be automatically generated using color harmonies. Go to the Swatches panel and create a new document palette, then add a base color swatch to it. Right-click the new swatch, select Create Colour Chord, and then choose the type of color harmony you want to use to generate colors—for example, complementary, triadic, tints, shades, or tones.    The number of new swatches added to the palette will depend on the color harmony you choose. Q is for Quick Start With TemplatesAffinity Designer templates are easy to create. In any document, at any time, go to File > Export as Template and follow the prompts. From then on, you can make a quick start on similar documents by choosing from your collection of previously exported templates when starting a new document.    The new document will pick up exactly where the template left off at the time it was exported. R is for Real-Time PreviewIn Affinity Designer, you get previews of blend modes, color selections, masking brushes and so on in real time.    This means you don't have to sit through the tedious process of testing, undoing, and testing again. You see exactly what results you're going to get before you commit. S is for Stroke StylesIn Affinity Designer, dotted lines are easy to create—just apply the Dash Line Style to a shape's stroke, tweak the dash parameters, and you're done.    It's equally fast to apply the application's other stroke styles too, such as vector brush-based lines and arrows. T is for T-Shirt DesignsIf you're wondering whether or not Affinity Designer T-shirt design is a thing, the answer is yes. I've used it myself for some POD printed designs, and both the process and results were great. Affinity Designer easily imported the PSD design template files I needed to use. It was smooth and effective to design in at the required size, and it supported the CMYK color format that's necessary for print.    Don't forget, if you want to get a head start, you can always grab a T-shirt graphic template from Envato Elements and import it into Affinity Designer as the basis for your own design. Pictured: T-shirt Designs Retro Collection by JeksonJS U is for UI DesignWhen you're first learning how to use Affinity Designer, you might not initially realize, but it's actually a very capable UI design tool—one of the few (or maybe the only one) that can be purchased for a flat fee and used on both desktop and mobile.    It has artboards, as we mentioned earlier, but it also has other key UI design features like layout constraints, typography controls, synchronized symbols, an asset library, and even a collection of ready-made drag-and-drop UI assets built right in. V is for Vector BrushesOne of the unique aspects of Affinity Designer art is actually driven by Affinity Designer brushes. No, not the raster, Photoshop-compatible brushes we talked about earlier. Rather, Affinity's own scalable, flexible, vector-based brushes.    Grab any vector-based brush and paint away as if you were working in raster, but then maintain the ability to scale without quality loss, and adjust the placement of your strokes at any time. W is for Workspace PresetsAs from Affinity Designer 1.9, you can create your own workspace presets, a.k.a. studio presets. Set up your workspace with the studio panels you want to show, positioned where you like, and then go to View > Studio Presets > Add Presets and give your preset a name.    You can then load that preset any time you like to restore your saved workspace layout. X is for X-Ray VisionGo to View > View Mode > Split View, and then set one of the side's views to Outline mode.    This gives you X-ray vision of your document whenever you drag the separator back and forth. Y is for Your Own Asset LibrariesWe saw earlier how Affinity Designer ships with an asset library of UI elements. Well, you can also create your own asset libraries just like this, so you can make graphics once and then reuse them by dragging and dropping onto your canvas. You can share these libraries between documents and even with other people. Open the Assets studio panel, create a new category, and then create a sub-category and start adding items to it. Do this by selecting a graphic you've made, clicking the top-right dropdown inside an asset sub-category, and choosing Add from Selection.    Z is for Zooming 1,000,000%Affinity Designer has a capacity for zooming with speed and fidelity that at this point is first in class. Start zooming and effectively keep going as long as you like, because it's highly unlikely you're ever going to hit that one million percent zoom limit.    And no, that's not a dare. Wrapping UpSo that's the A to Z of Affinity Designer: 26 of the coolest features, tips, and tricks I know about the software. Since its initial beta back in 2014, Designer has become my go-to graphics application. I've bought it for every platform on which it exists, and I'd happily do it all again. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and give the free trial a go. And get yourself stocked up with a great big stack of graphics and brushes and other assets to use in it over at Envato Elements.    |

Shopping Cart Best PracticesShopping cart is one the most important part of your customers' shopping experience. It can make or break sales. Let look at ways you can reduce cart abandonment rate. 1. Understand Shopping HabitsThe same shopping habits that occur in a supermarket also apply online. Customers add items they like to the shopping cart then decide at the end which items they are sure they want to buy and which they want to leave behind. It is best practice to let them continue shopping instead of taking the items directly to checkout. An online version of pressuring the customer to buy back fires because it frustrates their shopping flow. A continue shopping link on the shopping cart is a must. 2. Make it Easy to Modify the CartGive customers the option to add or delete merchandise from the shopping cart without difficulty. 3.

How to Make a Sales PowerPoint PresentationKeep reading to learn about how to customize five sales presentation template slides to create a sales PowerPoint presentation. Tip: If you're not the best at using PowerPoint or you just want to refresh your memory, Tuts+ has many helpful PowerPoint tutorials. To start, use a sales presentation template. Don't try to create a template yourself from scratch. Using a template will save you a lot of time. Templates come with named slides, which means that ideas are built into the slides. Just fill in your information and you're ready to go.    In this tutorial, we'll use this Business Sales PowerPoint Presentation Template. It's a premium template from Envato Elements. Download it to follow along. Or follow the steps with your own template. Here's a walkthrough of five sales PPT slides and how to customize each of them: 1. What We Do Slide   In this slide, you'll need to explain what your company does. If you're presenting a product, then explain what that product does. We're starting with slide 16 in our chosen template. It's divided into three sections. Use these sections for your three main topics. The slide already has three topic ideas:
Choose to use these as your main topics. Or add your own topics. To customize this slide, change the logo and company name to your company name and logo. The company name and logo are both in an image for this template. To replace the information on the slide, you'll need to have your company name and logo image handy.    To begin, select the company name and logo in the top left corner of your sales PowerPoint slide. Select Delete on your keyboard to remove the default information that came with the template. Next, click on the Insert tab. Then in the toolbar under the Insert tab, click on the Insert Picture button. Find the correct logo image on your computer and insert it. Adjust the image as needed. Now type over any default text that contains the company name. You've just added your own company logo and name to the slide. 2. Goals SlideAnother important slide in your sales presentation template is the goals slide. This section lets your audience know your goals for the company or your goals for the product.    For this slide, we'll work with slide 17 of the default template. It comes with three slots for goals. But with a few adjustments, you can use it for more than three goals. To have your slide look nice, you need the orange line for your other goals. To get that orange line select one of the orange lines in the slide. Right-click on the line. A menu pops up. From that menu, click Copy to make a copy of the orange line. Click on a blank space on the slide where you want the line to be. From the pop-up menu, click Paste to add a copy of the orange line. Repeat as often as necessary.    To create another goal, you'll need to add a text box. To do this, click on the Insert tab. In the tool bar under the Insert tab, click on the Draw a Text Box button. In a blank space where you want your text to be, draw a diagonal line to add a new text box for your new goal. Type your new goal into the new text box. Repeat for as many goals as you want to add. Caution: Be careful not to add too many goals to this slide, or it'll begin to look cluttered. 3. Statistics Slide   A very important part of a sales PowerPoint presentation is your sales statistics slide. For this example, we'll work with slide 32. In this template, there are several slides with charts and graphs. Charts and graphs are a great way to present data in an easy-to-understand way.    Slide 32 is where you can present your income and cost data. To edit the data in the chart, begin by selecting the chart. On the Chart Design tab, click on the Edit Data in Excel button. When you click on this button, a window pops up. Replace the data in the window with your own. Changing the data in the pop-up window changes the chart to match your data. 4. Sales Summary Slide   Another important slide of your sales presentation PPT is the sales summary slide. This slide will show your audience how well your company or product is doing. For this slide, we'll work with slide 34. One way to customize this slide is to change the colors of the graph.    To change the colors of the graph, start by selecting the graph. When you select the graph, a Chart Design tab appears. Click on the Chart Design tab. In the tool bar on the Chart Design tab, click on the Chart Quick Colors button. When you click on this button, a color menu appears. Select the colors that you want for your chart from this menu. 5. Price Slide   Price is an important part of your presentation if you're discussing a product or service. People need to know how much this product or service costs. Price puts value on the product and lets other people know what you think the value of that product is. Slide 40 of the sales presentation template has a price table on the slide. So, we'll work with that. There are two ways to customize this slide. We'll show you how to customize this slide both ways. The first way you can customize the slide is to change the color of an object, or in this case the premium box in the middle of the slide.    To change the color of the premium box, select the box. Next, click on the Shape Format tab. On the Shape Format tab in the toolbar, click on the Shape Fill button. When you click on the Shape Fill button, a color menu drops down. Select the color that you want to use.    The next way to customize this slide is to change color of the text. To change the color of the text, start by highlighting the text that you want to customize. After the text is selected, click on the Home tab. Then click on the Font Color button in the toolbar. When you click on the Font Color button, a color menu drops down. Select the color that you want to customize your text with.

| How to Create Stunning Skate Photography Posted: 23 Jun 2021 06:53 AM PDT You're more likely to hear skateboarding called an art or a lifestyle than a sport. Skating is creating and style earns respect. If you're looking for a new and creative outlet to explore, give skate photography a go. Skateboarding and skate photography both play with the geometry of the built environment; from discovering new locations to experimenting with various lenses and angles and light, there's no one way to shoot skating and that's part of what makes it an endless source of creative images. Today, we're going to look at some of the tried-and-true methods for achieving the best skateboarding photos. We've also included links below with more tips on how to get started with skate photography.    Use a Fisheye LensSkateboarding photography and a fisheye lens go hand in hand. The super-wide angle lens achieves an interesting three-dimensional look. It allows you to get closer to your subject—capturing where they came from, what they're doing, and where they're going. With a fisheye lens, your images have room to breathe while still creating a sense of impact.   Using a fisheye lens is especially great in a pool. Empty pools—either at a house or a skatepark—are playgrounds for skateboarders. Because pools are round, the super-wide fisheye lens emphasizes the curvature and makes the skateboarder look like they're covering more ground.    Try different angles when shooting these bowls. Shoot from the edge of the pool and have a skater ride right up to your lens. Or stand at the bottom and shoot upward as they're in the air. Look for any way to incorporate the curves of concrete into a geometrically composed image.   Just don't shoot everything with a fisheye. It's good to break it up a bit by using a standard wide angle or even a telephoto lens. A standard wide angle won't distort the skater and his trick, but will display enough of the surrounding area to make for a nicely composed image. And a telephoto lens helps to separate the skater from the background, putting more emphasis on them. PrefocusThis is one of the best tips I learned when starting out in photography. Not only does it apply to photographing skateboarding, but it's also really helpful for any kind of action or motion photography. The tip is pre-focusing.   How to Prefocus Your Camera for Action PhotographyTo get sharp images of fast action, turn off your autofocus. Manually focus at the point where you want your subject to be sharp, then wait for them to come to your prefocus spot and shoot. You can either have the skater stand at your spot to set the focus, or you can just prefocus on an object nearby which is at the same distance as where the skater will perform their trick.    There are several factors that go into getting a sharp image of a moving object, including overall lighting levels, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. I'm not going to go into detail about basic camera settings. Prefocus works best in bright light with a wider lens, like a 24, 28, or 35mm, using small aperture, like f/8 or f/16, because with this combo you will have a very broad area in front of you in focus. Don't be afraid to pump up the ISO to get the right exposure and shutter speed, if you need to.    Keep a Clean BackgroundThe sky is a perfect background for skate photos. Skaters fly high, and you can get low enough to have the action framed with the sky as the background. The sky also creates a great contrast to the skater—making them stand out at the peak of action. Be sure to include the obstacle and surrounding scene, as these elements direct attention to the skater (think rule-of-thirds).   Build Perspective With a Telephoto LensAnother way to achieve a clean background is to shoot with a long lens. Compression of an image brings out the skater and blurs the details of the background. So you don't need a blank wall or blue sky to get a clean composition. The telephoto lens will keep an interesting background while minimizing some of the distracting details.    Also try setting a slower shutter speed and panning to blur the background and keep your subject in focus. This is a good way to convey speed and also helps when you have a really cluttered background, like a bunch of trees. It's okay to have busy texture such as brick walls, trees, graffiti, etc. Just make sure you don't have these elements distracting the subject. For example, a pole in the background that looks like it's coming out of the skateboarder's head is a distraction that could easily be avoided by composing shots properly. You want the focus to be on the skater and the story they are telling.    Get LowChanging the angle of your shots is one of the simplest ways to make huge difference in how your images look. And low angles in particular really help to bring skateboarding photography to another level. Taking your camera to ground level increases the height and excitement of the action.     Just as long as you stay alert and can get out of the way quickly and safely, you can compose images in the viewfinder of your camera. But whenever you're shooting at a low angle, you're putting yourself more in the zone of the skateboarder's path. If they wipe out, it might not feel good for you. Make sure you watch them do the trick a few times in order to figure out where the safest and best angle shot is going to be. Get close but be ready to jump out of the way. Shooting skating requires you to have quick reactions! Also, know your true distance when shooting with a wide-angle lens, otherwise you could misjudge the distance you are to the skater. Be sure to keep one eye in the viewfinder and the other on your subject. That way you can predict what will happen. Storytelling: All About AngleExperiment with different angles such as titling the camera, shooting from a distance, or framing parts of a ramp or rail in the shot. The more creative you get with your angles, the better the trick looks. When composing your images, think about how the composition frames the story the skater is telling. Where is the drama in the way they're skating? How does your composition communicate what the skater is doing? If you can see where they took off from, you can anticipate where they're going, and from there make the split-second creative decisions about how to react to the action with your camera.   We talked about shooting low, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't shoot high as well. In fact, getting on ladders and standing on walls is an excellent way to achieve good composition. Try using a ladder on the side of a pool to shoot down. The concrete makes for a nice clean background as the skater banks along the side.   Warping a perspective usually gives images a disorienting feeling, which can match the action in the photo. Skaters are moving fast, flying, and balancing—feelings you don't get by walking. A standard perspective often just doesn't cut it for skate photography. Make sure that whenever you're composing a shot, the elements in the image are aligned for a clean composition no matter the angle. Take a look at the image below. How do you think our reaction to it would be if the angle was straight on? The slight tilt is a subtle way of putting us in the skater's shoes. It's almost as if we are seeing the world from his perspective at that particular moment. Hopefully viewers of your skateboarding shots feel as though they're part of the action—not merely a spectator.   There's one more thing about camera tilting, though: be careful with horizon lines. If you're shooting at an open skatepark or somewhere not blocked by buildings, having a crooked horizon may just look like a mistake. Lighting With External FlashesUsing multiple external flashes gives more three-dimensionality and texture to your photos. The point of having more than one flash is more angularity. You want the subject to pop from the background and not just simply look like a light is on them. This includes light coming from above, the ground, and behind. Each shot will require a different setup, but do keep in mind that flashes work best when placed at a different angle than your camera. For action like skateboarding, you want a combination of a fast flash duration and a high output of light. This ensures that you're freezing the action and getting a sharp image. If you're getting some blur with your daytime flash shots, it means your flash duration is too slow, and that the ambient light is too strong and it's overpowering the flash.   Skateboarding photographer Matt Price uses shoelaces to hang flashes so he doesn't need to use light stands. This is great advice especially for photographing skating on the street. When you're moving around a city it can be a lot better to have a setup that's easily portable. He also notes how placing a flash on the ground creates shadows and enhances the rough texture of the ground. Just another method of giving your skate photos a more three-dimensional look and more intensity. For a more elaborate setup, you can place your flashes on stands. This is good for when you're shooting at one location for a longer period of time and want to be able to place the light exactly where you want it. If you do use tripods to support the flashes, make sure the shadow doesn't appear in the photo. Another way to use a flash is to just hold it in one hand and shoot with the other. Since a lot of shots require planning ahead, you can position yourself where you need to be wait for the skater to ride by. Also don't forget about those nighttime photos. Use flash at night to create contrast between a skater and a sea of darkness. The isolation of the skater that the contrast achieves makes for a dramatic image.   Avoid Cutting Off Heads and Limbs, PleaseOkay, so this is a basic rule-of-thumb for portrait photography, but when shooting high-flying skaters, you must plan your framing, otherwise you will crop off heads or limbs.   Keep your subject in frame by planning shots. Have them stand in front of the camera at the distance they'll do a trick to get an idea of how much space you need. Most skate tricks happen in the air, so remember that your planned shots are only a reference. Picture what it will look like in the frame when they actually do the trick and then compose the shot for that. Always having the skateboarder in frame makes for professional, polished photography. It also forces you to shoot wide and include backgrounds and obstacles that make for better composition. Get FeedbackSkateboarders are creative themselves, so it's a good idea to collaborate with them on your shots. Talk with them before you shoot and show them the photos after a few tricks. They'll probably have constructive advice for how your shots can be even better.   The best insight they can give you is which part of the trick is the best to capture. Remember that when you show a photo to someone performing a sport, they're critiquing themselves. If they don't like the way a photo looks, you might have captured the wrong moment of action. Even if the lighting is great, it's still about the trick being performed; and that's a very important aspect of capturing skating. Break the RulesBe creative. Skateboarders are. They'll find perfect places to skate when all someone else sees is a dumpster or a wall. As a photographer, you can work with skateboarders to come up with new ways to shoot. Use this guide as a reference, but feel free to break the rules. Photography is creating and so is skating. It just makes sense to push the boundaries of what you can do.   And above all, have fun. Skateboarding is constantly evolving due to the creativity put into it. It will keep you wanting to make great images. Check out skateboarding magazines to get familiar with the kinds of approaches professional skate photographers are using. Just don't hesitate to do something different.

Click Create to create your document.    Step 2Next, let's create some Guides. Go to View > New Guide Layout. Toggle the Margin on, and add 0.25" to each side of your document. This is going to act as our trim, or where the document will be cut. The 0.25" bleed here will help ensure that any full-page images extend to the edge of our project. Then click OK to proceed.    Step 3Repeat this process by once again going to View > New Guide Layout. Again, we want to turn to the Margin settings here. This time, add 0.50" to each side of your document. This will give us a 0.25" safety area for our design. We'll keep essentials like text within this space. Again, click OK to proceed.    Step 4Next, turn to your Layers panel. You can open it up by going to Window > Layers. Create a New Layer by clicking on the plus icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. For optional, organizational purposes, we can name and label our layers. For example, double-click on the name of the layer to give it a new name. In this demo, we'll call it "Cut Area". You can also right-click on PC or Control-click on Mac, on the layer itself, and choose a color identifier. This is cosmetic and for organizational purposes. However, since this is going to be an essential part of our blank door hanger template, it's a good idea to establish this early on.    Step 5Now, let's turn to the Ellipse Tool in our Tools panel. We'll use it to define where on our door hanger template we'd like the hanger hole cut out. Before drawing your ellipse, make sure you have the following settings ready in your Options panel:
   Step 6Then, with the Ellipse Tool active, click once on your document. We can define what size ellipse we'd like Photoshop to draw for us. In this example, we'll create an ellipse with a 1.25" diameter, which is a common door hanger template size. Click OK to add the ellipse to your document.    Step 7We'll want our ellipse aligned to the center of the door tag. Rather than eyeballing it and taking a guess, we can again turn to guides to help us position it. Go to View > New Guide. Then, choose Vertical Orientation and input 50% as the value. Click OK to continue. This will create a guide right in the middle of our template.    Step 8Let's create one more guide. Go to View > New Guide. This time, we want Horizontal Orientation, and input the value 0.875". This adds a guide that is 0.875" down the length of our door hanger template design. This gives us 5/8" of space from the top, after the 0.25" bleed. This is a common placement for the "hole" in our door hanger, but you could choose any alternative measurement you prefer. Click OK to continue. Then, use the Move tool to move our ellipse to align with these guides. We want it in the middle of the document, and aligned to that 5/8" guide from the top of the canvas, like this example, below.    Step 9Finally, let's use the Line Tool to add a cut line that connects our door tag hole. If we don't have a cut here, we can't get the door tag on a door knob. Select the Line Tool in your Tools panel. Make sure we have the same options from our ellipse still selected up in the Options panel. This was No Fill, a black Stroke, 5 px in Width, and a solid line. Click and drag to draw a line from the ellipse to the edge of your document. Hold down the Shift key to create a perfectly straight line. And now we have a basic, blank door hanger template. Keep in mind that you could create this in any dimensions you prefer. Make it longer, shorter, create a small door hanger template, or use a different shaped hole. It's up to you.    2. How to Design a Door Hanger TemplateStep 1Now, let's explore how to design a door hanger template. In this example, we'll design for an open house. Keep in mind that a door hanger template has somewhat limited space; the top is largely occupied by the door knob. In addition, we need to make sure that key information is quickly and clearly visible. Let's start by adding an image, since that would be essential here. We'll use this stock photograph of a house as an example. Open your image in Photoshop by going to File > Open. Then, go to Select > All to select the entire image. Go to Edit > Copy, and then return to your door hanger template. Go to Edit > Paste to paste the image into the document.    Step 2We can then go to Edit > Free Transform to resize this image to fit our design, by clicking and dragging on the visible resize handles. Tap Return on your keyboard once you're happy with your resized image. Use the Move Tool to reposition your image. Here's an example of what you could try.    Step 3Another essential item here would be the company or business logo. We'll use this example logo design from Envato Elements in this design. Follow the same process from Step 1. Open your image, copy it, and then paste it into your design. Use Free Transform and the Move Tool to position the logo. Here's an example of where you might want to place the logo. I went with the bottom of the composition.    Step 4Let's return to our Layers panel. You'll notice that our images were pasted onto new layers by default. It's a good idea to name these layers, for organizational purposes (as we did earlier in the tutorial). Create a new layer by clicking on the plus sign at the bottom of the Layers panel. Position this layer right on top of the Background layer (and below all the others). Now, let's use the Rectangle Tool to draw some rectangular shapes behind our photo layer. Try this with a blue Fill color and no Stroke. Click and drag to draw your rectangles. Here is an example layout with two different rectangles: one at the top and one at the bottom.    Step 5Next, let's use the Type Tool to add some text to our composition. Click on your design to start typing out some text. I'll begin with the title "Open House".    Step 6Let's turn to the Character panel to customize our text. Here, we can adjust the font, size, color, and more. For this design, we'll use the Visia Pro Heavy font for our title. Continue to add text with the Type Tool. For example, it would be a great idea to bring emphasis to contact information, like a phone number. It's best to give it a large place in the composition. Consider adding smaller, supplemental text too, like the house's address and some key information. Visia Pro Light and Regular are great matching choices for other parts of our design. Here's an example of how you could choose to arrange and position your text. Feel free to use this example or experiment with your own ideas:    Step 7We can also add some decorative components to our design too, to create some interest. Let's experiment with these fun, geometric textures. Start by opening the texture by going to File > Open. This particular wavy texture is #70 in the collection (it comes with many to choose from!). We're going to repeat that same process from earlier again: open your image, copy it, and paste it into your document.    Step 8Photoshop will paste this image on a new layer. Let's move this layer in our Layers panel right above our colored rectangles. Since this is a seamless pattern, we can also duplicate this layer to easily extend its width. Right-click on PC or Control-click on Mac and choose Duplicate Layer. Then, use the Move Tool to move this copy to the opposite side. The result gives us a pattern that continues across the base of the entire design. To merge these layers together, hold Control on PC or Command on Mac, and then click on the layers you'd like to select. Then, go to Layer > Merge Layers. Now, our pattern is continuous and on one contained layer.    Step 9With our pattern layer selected, go to Image > Hue/Saturation, and turn the Lightness value all the way up, so our pattern looks white. Toggle Preview on if you'd like to see your adjustments here, before you commit to them. Click OK to continue.    Step 10Now, reposition this layer on top of the base colored rectangle, so it looks like a series of wavy lines. With the Move Tool active, click and drag to move this content. This is a quick and easy way to create a fun and interesting shape in our layout.    Step 11Finally, let's copy this layer with our white, wavy lines on it. Right-click on PC or Control-click on Mac on this layer. Then select Duplicate Layer. With the Move Tool selected, click and drag to position this second copy of our pattern on top of the colored rectangle towards the top of the composition. Turn the Opacity down to 30% on this layer. This still gives us the wavy effect, but with a different twist.    And There You Have It!We've created our own door knob hanger template.

Give Personal Insight   The point of a recommendation is to go beyond the resume or CV. Instead of repeating what the hiring manager already knows, share some insight from your personal experience of working with that person. 4. Relate the Recommendation to the RoleSome people are multi-talented. But you don't have to put all their accomplishments in your reference letter. Instead, look at the role they're applying for and focus on the most relevant achievements to highlight. 5. Keep It Short   Most reference letters are a single page. Be selective about what you include to keep within that framework.

| How to Recreate Material Design Floating Labels Posted: 23 Jun 2021 02:52 AM PDT When it comes to creating forms on webpages, accessibility and design have to go hand in hand. Ideally, every input field should have an associated label and a placeholder, if needed. However, from a design perspective, this can cause a form to look rather text-heavy. Labels-as-placeholders, sometimes known as floating labels, are a popular design choice for creating minimalist and accessible forms. This method is also commonly used in popular design systems such as Bootstrap and Material Design (shown below):       In this tutorial, we'll recreate the floating label used in Material Design text fields using CSS and vanilla JavaScript. Material Design Floating LabelHere's what the final result looks like: Begin With Form HTML MarkupFirst, we create the markup for our Material Design form including a label and an input text field. <div class="input-container"> <input type="text" id="name" required/> <label for="name">First Name</label> </div> </form> It's important to associate labels to their related input fields by using the Using the DevTools Accessibility pane, we can see how labels and inputs are linked in the form markup above:    Material Design Form CSSThe most important styling for a floating label is to make the label absolutely positioned inside a relative parent element. We want to be able to move our label around the input container without it disrupting the flow of elements. .input-container { position: relative; height: 56px; } label { display: block; position: absolute; top: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%); } Float Label on FocusWe also want to float the label whenever the user clicks the input. We can do this using the input:focus + label { transform: translateY(-100%) scale(0.75); color: #6200ee; } Note: This works because the label is the next element immediately after the input field. The plus selector targets the next immediate element so it won't work if the label is placed before the input or another element is placed in between the two. Float Label with User InputAnother feature of the floating label is that it remains floated if the input has a value, even if the user is no longer focusing on the input. We can achieve this by using the CSS We use the valid selector for required inputs to detect if the input has a value. input:focus + label, input:valid + label { transform: translateY(-100%) scale(0.75); } With this, the label remains floated when the input is focused or has a value. Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks to using the valid selector. For example, if the valid selector is used on an email input, the input is considered invalid if the value is not in email format.    We can solve this with a little JavaScript. Add JavaScript Event ListenerWe use JavaScript to detect if the input has a value whenever the user navigates away from it. const inputs = document.querySelectorAll("input"); inputs.forEach((input) => { input.addEventListener("blur", (event) => { if (event.target.value) { input.classList.add("is-valid"); } else { input.classList.remove("is-valid"); } }); }); Whenever the input loses focus, we check if it contains a value. If it does, we add the input:focus + label, input.is-valid + label { transform: translateY(-100%) scale(0.75); } With this we've implemented the floating label design! Here's the complete CSS to recreate the Material Design form look. .form-container { height: 100vh; width: 100%; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; background-color: #fafafa; } form { padding: 3rem; display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 2rem; width: 95%; max-width: 300px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12); border-radius: 0.5rem; box-shadow: 0 0 8px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 8%), 0 0 15px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 2%), 0 0 20px 4px rgb(0 0 0 / 6%); } .input-container { background-color: #f5f5f5; position: relative; border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0; height: 56px; transition: background-color 500ms; } .input-container:hover { background-color: #ececec; } .input-container:focus-within { background-color: #dcdcdc; } label { display: block; position: absolute; top: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%); left: 16px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transform-origin: left top; user-select: none; transition: transform 150ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1),color 150ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1), top 500ms; } input { width: 100%; height: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; caret-color: #6200ee; border: 1px solid transparent; border-bottom-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.42); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); transition: border 500ms; padding: 20px 16px 6px; font-size: 1rem; } input:focus { outline: none; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-bottom-color: #6200ee; } input:focus + label { color: #6200ee; } input:focus + label, input.is-valid + label { transform: translateY(-100%) scale(0.75); } Your Material Design Floating Labels Are Complete!As with most design patterns, floating labels have triggered their fair share of debates. So long as you make your forms accessible and easy to use, you can use any design pattern you like. Hopefully, this tutorial serves as a useful guide should you choose to use floating labels.

| 25+ Best CrossFit WordPress Templates 2021 Posted: 23 Jun 2021 01:30 AM PDT If you're looking for more members to join your CrossFit program, you'll need a powerful and modern website. Luckily, WordPress makes it easy to create any type of website, including a CrossFit website without any need to hire a developer or learn programming. What's even better, there are numerous WordPress templates, both free and paid, that you can download and use to quickly launch your CrossFit website. Cleaning Up CrossFitWhile CrossFit remains a popular form of exercise for many worldwide, it hasn't happened without controversy. In the summer of 2020, CrossFit founder Greg Glassman made racist remarks that led to the loss of many affiliates and a major sponsor, Reebok. He soon stepped down, with new owner Eric Roza and Glassman's partner, Dave Castro, taking over. The pair soon started making changes to make the CrossFit company more inclusive for people of all communities. With new trainer scholarship programs and other initiatives, Roza and Castro are turning CrossFit into a welcoming environment for everyone.    What does this mean for your CrossFit website and gym?
