equinux Mail Designer 1.3.4 - Manual (Page 24)

Advanced design techniques
We’ve covered the basic, so let’s look at some of the slightly
more advanced layout and design techniques you can apply
to your email designs.
Combining design elements
You can create some interesting effects by combining multiple design ele-
ments. Mail Designer can arrange objects in layers, so you can stack objects
on top of each other for eye-catching looks.
Combining graphics
Let’s say we have a big sales event on July 16th that we want to announce.
We can highlight that date visually by combining the calendar text element
with a graphic element to highlight the specific date.
Drag in the July Calendar text object:
Now go to the graphics and drag the black marker circle onto the calendar:
Finally, grab the black circle by the orange adjustment handles, resize it, and
then click and drag it into position over July 16th.
Perfect! A great visual reminder to let customers know to check out the
event on July 16th!
