Create a great frame!
November 27, 2007

The Frame object is the foundation of a great looking coupon. In this article, we are going to take a quick look at how to use it properly.

Unless you are using an image for the border, the frame should be the first object you add to a new coupon.

Open "Create!" and lets get started.

Step 1
Choose the Frame type

For this example, I will choose the Solid Frame button.

Step 2
Draw the frame onto the canvas. (the cursor will change to a small plus sign)

  1. Start at the top left corner of the canvas
  2. Click and hold the left mouse button down
  3. Drag towards the right-bottom of the canvas
  4. Release the mouse button


Step 3
Resizing the margins

Now that we have our frame, we want to even up the margins between the frame and the edge of the canvas.


Notice how the margins are uneven  

Click the Resize Canvas button
 

Now the canvas margins are the same
