Poster Designer Pro QuickStart Guide

Creating your first poster

Poster Designer Pro provides a wide range of

professionally-designed design templates and

themed layouts, which you can use as starting

points for your own custom posters.

In the following pages, we’ll show you how to

create a poster from a design template and from a

themed layout. You’ll learn how to add your own

pictures and text, and print your finished poster.

We’ll use the sample images installed with Poster

Designer Pro. In a standard installation, you’ll find this

folder in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Serif\Poster Designer

Pro\1.0\Images

You can use your own images if you prefer.

Starting with a design template

Each design template is offered in a poster (choose

from portrait or landscape orientation) and a

banner style, and comes complete with pictures and text.

Design template categories include Education, Retail, Business,

Sports, Travel, Celebrations, and more—you’re sure to find

something you like.

All you need to do is update the text and images to

suit your needs and your poster is ready to print!

We’ll begin by opening a design template from the

Startup Wizard.

The Startup Wizard is displayed

by default when you launch

Poster Designer Pro, but you

can access it at any time from

the File menu.

To open a design template:

1On the File menu, click New from

Startup Wizard.

Poster Designer Pro QuickStart Guide

The Startup Wizard offers different routes into the program—create

a new poster, open a saved poster, browse the tutorials, and so on.

2Click the Use

Design

Template

option.

3In the Create New Poster From

Template dialog, select a category

from the Templates list on the left.

The center pane updates to show

thumbnails of the templates available

in the category.

4Select a thumbnail to view its

associated designs in the Designs

pane on the right.

5Select the design you want to use.

6In the upper-right corner

of the dialog, in the

Scheme drop-down list,

choose a color scheme on

which to base your poster.

(The first three schemes

are designed specifically to

complement the selected

template.)

7Click Open.

Poster Designer Pro QuickStart Guide

The template opens as a

new poster in the

workspace.

8You can replace the

images in the template

with your own photos, or

you can choose from the

selection of template

images included with

Poster Designer Pro.

These images are

displayed by default in the

Media Bar at the bottom

of the workspace.

·To add a template image, simply drag it from the Media Bar on

top of the image you want to replace.

- or -

·To add your own photo, select the image you want to replace and

click its Replace Picture button. In the Import Picture

dialog, browse to and select your new image and click Open.

For more on working with images, see page 9.

9To edit text, click and drag to select the text you want to work with

(or triple-click to select all of the text), and then type your own text.

10 To format text, select it, and then use the settings on the Text

context toolbar to change font style, size and formatting options.

For more on working with text, see page 10.

11 When you have finished adjusting your pictures and text, go to page

14 to learn how to preview and print your poster.

Changing color schemes

Because the themed layouts and design

templates are color schemed, you can swap

the underlying scheme (and consequently the

look and feel of the poster) at any time.

To apply a new color scheme:

1 On the

Swatches tab,

click the Edit

button to open

the Scheme

Manager.

2 Choose a new color scheme and click OK.

For more on color schemes, see online Help.

Poster Designer Pro QuickStart Guide

Starting with a themed layout

As an alternative to the design templates, Poster Designer Pro also

provides a wide range of themed layouts. Each theme offers a selection of

layout variations and color schemes.

To open a themed layout:

1On the File menu, click New from Startup Wizard.

2Click the Use Themed Layout option.

3In the Create New Poster From Themed

Layout dialog, scroll the left Themed Layouts

pane and select a theme thumbnail.

The adjacent Layouts pane updates to show

variations of the selected layout.

4In the upper-right corner of the dialog, in the

Scheme drop-down list, choose a color

scheme on which to base your poster.

(The first three schemes are

designed specifically to

complement the selected

themed layout.)

As you select a scheme, the

layout thumbnails are updated

automatically.

5In the Layouts

pane, select the

layout variation

you want to

use.

6Click OK.

The layout

opens in the

workspace.

Poster Designer Pro QuickStart Guide

Adding pictures to themed layouts

The themed layouts provide one or more placeholder picture frames for

you to add your own photos, or a template image from the Media Bar.

To add a template image from the Media Bar:

·Drag an image from the Media Bar directly onto a picture frame.

To add your own image:

1Click once inside a picture frame (or select the frame and then click

the Replace Picture icon that displays in the lower-right

corner).

2In the Import Picture

dialog, browse to locate

the image you want to use,

select it, and click Open.

The picture is added to the

frame and scaled to fit.

3When the picture is selected, note

that the Picture Frame toolbar

displays in the lower-right corner.

You can use these tools to adjust

your picture inside the frame:

·To reposition the picture inside

the frame, click Pan, and then

click and drag on the picture.

·To rotate the picture, click Rotate.

·To zoom into or out of the picture, click Zoom In or

Zoom Out, and then click on the picture.

·To replace the picture, click Replace Picture, browse to

locate a new picture and click Open.

Poster Designer Pro QuickStart Guide

Working with text

In this section, we’ll edit and resize the

text placeholders, and apply formatting

and color. We’ll be working with artistic

text and frame text.

To select, edit, and format text:

1Click inside the text object

containing the words ‘Your poster

title here,’ then triple-click to select

all of the text.

The placeholder text is shaded in

blue for clear editing.

2Type your own poster title.

3(Optional) If required, resize your title by clicking and dragging a

resize handle (circled in red below).

As you resize the text object, the text is automatically ‘stretched’ or

‘squashed’ to fit inside the text frame. This is unique to artistic text.

Our next task is to apply formatting to the text, and change its color.

4Triple-click, or click and drag, to select the poster title text.

At the top of the workspace, below the Standard toolbar, the Text

context toolbar displays.

Adding text

Frame text and artistic text

share many attributes, and you

can use the same methods to

perform operations such as

selecting, editing, formatting,

and so on. However, there are

a few differences. For example...

With frame text you can:

·Flow text between frames.

·Wrap text around pictures.

With artistic text you can:

·Stretch or squash the text by

dragging its container.

·Create some interesting

shaped text effects by putting

artistic text on a path.

For details, see the Working

With Text tutorial and online

Help.
