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.
Aligning different objects
Aligning single objects
Mail Designer Pro 2 makes it easy to align a single ob-
ject to certain positions in an image area. Simply
choose the object you want to align and click ”Align”
from the toolbar. Choose between different aligning
options. Combining multiple aligning options makes it
easy to center an object such as an image or text box to
the center of an image area.
Aligning a group of objects
You can not just align single objects with the border of an image area but
also multiple objects with each other.
Select multiple images by shift clicking them and choose ”Align” from the
top menu bar. Like before you can choose from different aligning options.
Aligning objects from different layout blocks
With Mail Designer Pro 2 you can easily arrange multiple objects from differ-
ent layout blocks using alignment guides.
Simply drag an alignment guide from the ruler on the left into your template
and position it.
Drag certain objects to the alignment guide for a professional look of your
templates. You can also resize text and image areas by clicking a border and
dragging it to the alignment line.
Edit images in third party applications
With Mail Designer Pro 2 you can open certain images you have used for
your image areas in third part applications. Just select the image you want
to edit and click ”Edit In” from the toolbar.
