Experios offers lots of pre-built page layouts that allow content creators to build professional-looking publications quickly and easily.
Removing the need for spacing, padding, margins, and so on, using pre-built layouts can reduce design complexity. It’s easy to use the features we explored in previous sections, though, to enhance the look and feel of the pre-builds.
To get started, choose “Add Content”, select “Layouts” and then choose the “General” option. There are hundreds of image and text layout configurations for you to choose from.
Once you’ve selected the configuration of text and images that most closely meets your needs, a default publication will be added to your canvas. The default text and images are simple to edit.
Double-clicking the default image, for example, allows you to choose a replacement image from your library on Experios, from a wide selection of stock images or – via upload – from the images on your PC.
You can make quick edits to the default text using the tool-bar, too. While the “Properties” panel offers more options including background colour, image and so on.
When changes are made to the text – if a chunk is removed, for example – the image auto-resizes accordingly so there’s no need to worry about adjusting margins and so on.
After creating the first page of your publication, it’s simple to add more. Choose the type of page you’d like by clicking on “Add Content” and “Layouts”. You might choose a page option from the selection listed under “General”, for example, or “Covers”. Select the configuration that best suits your publication.
When adding a page you have two choices: to insert the new page at the start of your publication or at the end. It’s simple to delete any pages you no longer need, too. Select the section and a simple toolbar will appear, then just click on the trash-can.
Don’t forget the “Spacer” tool is a speedy way to add a break between pages. Choose “Add Content”, “Features” and “Spacer”. Then grab and drag the “Spacer” tool to wherever you’d like.
