A Beginner’s Guide: Simple Steps for Adding Text in Shutterfly Designs
If you’re new to Shutterfly and want to personalize your photo projects, adding text is a great way to make your designs stand out. Whether you’re creating cards, photo books, or wall art, including text can help convey your message or enhance the overall aesthetic. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to add text in Shutterfly designs.
Understanding Shutterfly’s Design Interface
Before diving into adding text, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with Shutterfly’s user-friendly design interface. Once you choose a product (like a card or photo book), you will be taken to the editing screen where various customization options are available. The toolbar typically appears on the left side of the screen and includes options for photos, backgrounds, and text.
Choosing Your Product and Layout
To start adding text, select the product type that best fits your needs—be it a greeting card, invitation, or any other item. After choosing a layout from the available templates, you can begin customizing it. Most templates already include placeholders for text which makes it easy to get started.
Adding Text Boxes
To add new text boxes: click on the ‘Text’ option in the toolbar. You’ll see an option labeled ‘Add Text Box’. Once clicked, a new box will appear on your design canvas. You can drag this box wherever you’d like on your project. This flexibility allows you to position your words exactly where they complement your images.
Customizing Your Text
After placing your text box, simply click inside it and start typing. You can customize font style and size by selecting from various fonts provided by Shutterfly. Additionally, you’ll find options for changing colors and aligning your text (left-aligned, centered or right-aligned). Don’t forget that using contrasting colors between your background and font can make your message pop.
Finalizing Your Design
Once you’re satisfied with how everything looks—including the placement of images along with added texts—it’s time to finalize your design. Take one last look at all elements for alignment and readability before saving changes or proceeding with checkout.
Adding text in Shutterfly is straightforward when you follow these simple steps. With just a few clicks, you can create beautiful personalized products that tell a story of their own. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different styles until you’re happy with what you’ve created.
