Getting Started - Front
The Custom Art Maker can be easily configured upon request. Please reach out to our support team or email [email protected] if you need help.
Once enabled, go to the Admin Panel >> Designer Studio >> Studio Settings >> General Tab >> Search "Art Maker". Here, you’ll find a setting ‘Enable Custom Art Maker’, and enable it:
Once enabled, your customers will see the Art Layout in the left navigation panel when they access the Designer Studio. They can create new art layouts or logos by either customizing the suggested designs based on their inputs or designing artwork from scratch:
From the Custom tab, customers can start by choosing a design color for their artwork. We have provided 100 different colors for the customers to choose from. Whenever a color is selected from the swatches then they (the customer) will get an instant preview of the color selected.
In the next step, the customer can enter text/slogans for the artwork. Any text added to the designs will be blended with the artwork in the next step.
In this step, the customer can select the artwork to apply to the design canvas:
Also, there are several icons that your customers can choose from and create a design. Admin can also upload these icons from the Admin Panel (explained later in the document):
Selecting an artwork from the list will demand your customers to save the artwork and then apply it to the product design or directly apply the artwork to the design.
- Save and Apply – This will save the artwork as well as apply it on the design canvas.
- Apply – This will only apply to the artwork.
- Clear Existing Design – This will clear the existing canvas design.
When the artwork is applied on the canvas then the customer can edit it too. They can apply different colors to the different elements. For text elements, there is an open room to change the font type.
To do this,
- Start by ungrouping the elements.
- Next, select an element to change the color or font type.
- To move the elements unlock them and move them to the required position.
Now, customers can finish their design and continue with placing the order.
When a customer clicks on the My Library tab, they see an Image Gallery pop-up containing all their previously saved artworks.
From here a customer can perform the following actions –
- View their saved artworks.
- Use (edit/delete) their saved artworks.
- Create new artwork from scratch (using the elements provided).
- Go to a custom art maker.
When a customer clicks on the ‘Create Artwork’ button, as shown above, they’ll be redirected to a studio page. This web page will allow them to create artwork from scratch.
They can use several design elements such as – text, shapes, clip arts, or the previously created layouts and create new artwork.
Note: The layout tab will only list the layouts/artworks created and saved by the particular customer.
- Once done click on Save.
- Enter the design name and save.
The created artwork will now be listed under the ‘My Library’ section, as shown below –
