Following the steps taken in the previous section, it’s simple to add a pre-built cover to your publication. Choose “Add Content”, select “Layouts” and then choose “Covers”. Select the pre-build that best suits your needs and just add it to your canvas.
Whether you’re creating a cover for a catalog, a magazine, a report, or something else entirely, Experios has lots of pre-built options for you to choose from. There are various configurations of text, images and interactive elements like buttons. Using pre-built covers significantly reduces design complexity, making publications quicker and easier to produce.
Modifying pre-built covers is simple, making it easy to get a bespoke, professional look. Double-clicking the default cover image, for example, opens up the “Properties” panel, allowing you to choose a replacement image for your cover. You can make quick text edits using the toolbar or you can open the “Properties” panel for more options. Default interactive elements – like buttons – can also be modified using the “Properties” panel.
When any design changes have been made – like removing chunks of text – the cover’s elements will auto-adjust accordingly.
In the example below, the default text colour has been changed to white and the text box’s margins have been adjusted so that the cover text and image work well together.
Any default design elements that are surplus to your requirements can be removed by selecting them and choosing the trash can option.
