00:00:06:04 - 00:00:07:22
Okay, so what I want to do next
00:00:07:22 - 00:00:10:22
is work on the aesthetics of the editor
a little bit.
00:00:10:26 - 00:00:14:09
So you see, as we've got at the moment,
you can see the entire canvas.
00:00:14:09 - 00:00:16:29
You can see the checkered background.
00:00:16:29 - 00:00:19:12
That is okay. But it's it could be better.
00:00:19:12 - 00:00:22:17
You remember the one
we were looking at here again, it's still
00:00:22:17 - 00:00:26:11
fairly simplistic, but it's just making it
so it's a bit of a tidier experience.
00:00:26:11 - 00:00:28:04
It's all a single colour.
00:00:28:04 - 00:00:31:09
and we can't see the square canvas.
00:00:32:02 - 00:00:34:05
Now, there might be multiple ways
you can achieve this,
00:00:34:05 - 00:00:37:17
so I'm just going to show you
one of the ways in which, I work with it.
00:00:38:20 - 00:00:41:14
So what you'll see.
00:00:41:14 - 00:00:44:19
Well, first of all, let's start off
with getting rid of this black border.
00:00:44:20 - 00:00:50:02
We can see here and making the background
to be a static navy color.
00:00:50:02 - 00:00:52:07
We'll start off with that process.
00:00:52:07 - 00:00:53:25
And a lot of these things can be done
00:00:54:24 - 00:00:56:29
within the product options.
00:00:56:29 - 00:00:58:25
There's a lot of things in here.
00:00:58:25 - 00:01:01:25
It's your first port of call for any,
00:01:02:04 - 00:01:05:04
initial settings you're looking for.
00:01:05:06 - 00:01:08:06
When you're trying to do things
in your MegaEdit product.
00:01:09:20 - 00:01:10:08
So let's see.
00:01:10:08 - 00:01:11:24
Let's change a couple of things in here.
00:01:11:24 - 00:01:14:29
I'm going to say background
pattern is going to be a solid color.
00:01:16:16 - 00:01:18:08
I'm going to specifically type
00:01:18:08 - 00:01:21:08
in what a solid color is.
00:01:23:02 - 00:01:26:29
And I'm going to make it so that my canvas
movement is locked down as well.
00:01:26:29 - 00:01:29:01
So they can't move the label around.
00:01:29:01 - 00:01:32:07
It's just fixed on the screen
and they can upload things to it, so
00:01:32:18 - 00:01:35:18
it makes it look a bit neater as well.
00:01:37:04 - 00:01:39:20
The other thing we want to do
is to get rid of that canvas
00:01:39:20 - 00:01:41:11
shape around the square.
00:01:41:11 - 00:01:43:01
Just because it's the square shape
00:01:43:01 - 00:01:46:01
isn't particularly relevant
to what we're looking for.
00:01:46:01 - 00:01:49:19
So what I'm going to do on that one is
look at this section here.
00:01:49:19 - 00:01:51:04
So page rectangle colour.
00:01:52:21 - 00:01:54:29
We'll get a bit of a bit smart with this.
00:01:54:29 - 00:01:56:20
We'll say page rectangle color.
00:01:56:20 - 00:01:58:14
We'll put an RGB value.
00:01:58:14 - 00:02:02:29
And remember we can put a fourth value
in the RGB which is transparency.
00:02:03:22 - 00:02:05:20
So we probably put a zero at the end
there.
00:02:05:20 - 00:02:08:20
That will mean
that the border becomes transparent.
00:02:11:23 - 00:02:14:05
So you see how the border disappeared.
00:02:14:05 - 00:02:16:09
it's not updated the background color.
00:02:16:09 - 00:02:18:17
But we do need to reload the product
to see that.
00:02:18:17 - 00:02:21:17
Let me do that. Now.
00:02:28:24 - 00:02:29:26
Okay, we're halfway there.
00:02:29:26 - 00:02:31:23
You can see
I can't move the canvas around.
00:02:31:23 - 00:02:32:28
It's all navy.
00:02:32:28 - 00:02:37:04
The only thing we have
now is a big white square for our canvas.
00:02:38:12 - 00:02:41:12
So here's where we can get
a bit more creative again.
00:02:42:07 - 00:02:44:26
So what I want to do
is to actually put another
00:02:44:26 - 00:02:50:16
one of these types of fields
over the top of our, our canvas,
00:02:52:05 - 00:02:55:05
which is going to make it the same color
as the background,
00:02:55:09 - 00:02:58:09
but it's not going to be on the eventual
printed output.
00:02:58:14 - 00:03:01:21
So it's there for visualization
and for aesthetic purposes only,
00:03:02:03 - 00:03:05:07
because ultimately, when we view
the preview and create the output,
00:03:05:14 - 00:03:08:14
we still want it to be white
around the border, not Navy.
00:03:10:04 - 00:03:13:05
So I've got a clipart just for this.
00:03:17:19 - 00:03:19:11
So it's a navy circle.
00:03:19:11 - 00:03:22:14
Now you can see here
if I make it the same size as my canvas,
00:03:22:14 - 00:03:27:00
there's a little bit of a quirk where you
can still see the outline of the canvas.
00:03:27:25 - 00:03:32:11
Easy way to get around
this is to actually make the image
00:03:32:11 - 00:03:36:06
you're using for aesthetic purposes,
just to overspill the canvas a little bit.
00:03:37:03 - 00:03:41:01
So I can I've resizing this,
I've created it this size for a reason
00:03:41:15 - 00:03:43:25
and hopefully I know
the values this needs to be.
00:03:55:29 - 00:03:56:14
And there we go.
00:03:56:14 - 00:03:59:20
You can see now that because it overspill
is the edge of the canvas,
00:03:59:26 - 00:04:02:26
it's all now a seamless kind of look.
00:04:03:06 - 00:04:06:06
Now, if we actually looked
at this in the preview,
00:04:06:28 - 00:04:09:08
it now means that our outline
00:04:09:08 - 00:04:12:25
of the outside of the label is Navy,
which we don't want.
00:04:13:07 - 00:04:16:20
And so what we want to do is make it
so that this new field,
00:04:17:13 - 00:04:19:21
one, we don't want our customers
to interact with it.
00:04:19:21 - 00:04:22:20
So I'm going to say do not select,
00:04:22:20 - 00:04:25:20
but I'm also going to find do not print.
00:04:27:08 - 00:04:30:05
So it means that even though it's on here,
00:04:30:05 - 00:04:33:16
when I go to my preview,
we still see the white background.
