Adding a new text; Main Heading, Subheading, Body Text

To add new text, click Text in the left sidebar and choose one of the three options: Main Heading, Subheading, or Body Text. Each type serves a different purpose in conveying information to the viewer.

• Main Heading is the largest, most prominent text in the template — commonly used for post titles or presentation slide titles. It's the first thing viewers notice, setting the tone for the rest of the design.
• Subheading adds clarity to the main heading without overwhelming the viewer with detail. It typically appears just below or after the main heading, in a smaller size.
• Body Text is usually the smallest text element and carries the most detailed information. It's less attention-grabbing than the heading or subheading, but essential for communicating the full message.

You can also edit existing text directly: click the text on the graphic and start typing to replace it. This makes it easy to adjust your design and fine-tune your message.

Adjusting the Text's Appearance: Fonts, Strokes, Borders, and Alignments

To change the font, click Font Family in the toolbar. This opens a list of available fonts — select the one you want, and it's applied to your selected text. To use your own custom font, click Upload Font below the font family dropdown, then upload it directly from your device. Different fonts carry different characteristics, so choose one that complements your overall design.

To adjust strokes, borders, or highlights, click Effects in the toolbar, then toggle Highlight, Strokes, or Borders. This opens the corresponding adjustment bar, where you can change the thickness and color.

• Highlight applies a contrasting color behind text to make it stand out.
• Strokes outline the letters — useful for adding visual interest as part of your design concept.
• Borders add a frame around the text box, similarly useful for design emphasis.
• Properties like bold, italic, and underline add emphasis to specific text elements.
• Alignments control where the text is anchored, helping create a balanced, professional layout.

To apply any of these, simply click the option you want — for example, click Bold to bold your text, or Right Alignment to align it to the right.

Letter Spacing and Line Height Adjustments

Use the spacing adjustment bar to fine-tune the space between letters and lines. Slide the round slider to the right to increase spacing, or to the left to decrease it. It's a simple way to keep your text legible and visually balanced.

Adding Shadows and Curved Texts in Graphic Maker Tool

Shadows give text or objects a more three-dimensional feel, helping them stand out from the background. To add one:

1. Click Effects in the toolbar.
2. Toggle on Shadow.
3. Adjust the shadow's properties as needed.
   
   

You can control several parameters:

• Color — enter a specific Hex or RGB code, use the color picker, or choose from My Colors, which stores your previously used colors for quick, consistent access.
• Horizontal and Vertical Positioning — shift the shadow left/right or above/below the object using the respective adjustment bars.
• Blur — slide right for a softer, more diffuse shadow, or left for a sharper, more defined one.

Curved text is a fun way to add visual interest to your designs. To create it:

1. Click Effects in the toolbar.
2. Toggle on Curve.
3. Use the adjustment bar to set the curvature — slide right to increase it, left to make the text straighter.

Experiment with different curvature levels — curved text works well for filling empty space or following the contours of other design elements.

Color Change Options in the Text Section

Click any text element to reveal the color button. From there, you can pick a default or suggested color, add a custom color to your palette, or choose directly from My Colors.
This feature allows for a wide range of color options and greater control over your design. You can also adjust the color by using the Hex code or RGB code, which gives you even more precision and control over the final result.
