Hi! I purchased the always connected full bundle. How exactly do I edit with it?
Hello ! First of all: thank you for purchasing my psd, I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it !
I also hope that it's ok that I'm posting your ask for everyone to see, I was going to answer it privately but I thought this could be a great way of posting a mini tutorial in case someone else has the same question ( let me know if you want me to delete this and i will ).
Below the read more, you can find an in-depth explanation on how to edit the "always connected" full bundle !
This is what the screen looks like as soon as you open the psd on photoshop:
On the screen, you can see a note and the rules. The original layers are divided in the group layer, the main graphic group layer and the pop-ups group layer.
The first thing you should do, is to toggle off the visibility of the first group layer. You'll be left with what I call the main graphic ( images below ).
The main graphic has a lot of parts and possible iterations, so let me know if you want a more in-depth tutorial on how to edit them. But as you can see, I have some "optional" group layers, which means they can be used to substitute each other. That way, you can have the reminders aspect of the graphic, the notes aspects of the graphic or another photo, see below for the other two options:
After you figured out which of the two options you want, you can start editing each individual group layer. All of them are formatted so you can just clip the photo to their respected shape and it'll work. ( to clip, the photo needs to be in a layer directly above the shape you want to clip them to and you can either use ctrl + alt + g on windows or right click the layer of the photo you want to add and select "create clipping mask" )
Now, onto the pop-ups. This is what you see as soon as you click the pop-ups group layer:
I made it so all of the elements in the main graphic had a customizable pop-up. That means you'll have to remember to edit the "widget notifications" to match the original graphic, but I think it looks cute when it's done. I also formatted all of them to work with clipping masks, so all you have to do is to go through the ones you want to use and clip the photos to the correct shapes.
I, once again, can go through a more in-depth tutorial about all of those group layers if you want, just let me know !
All of the colors and fonts are also fully customizable, so here's how to edit them to the palette you want/fits you the best:
First of all, I like to enable "properties". To do that, all you have to do is to open the windows menu and select properties. The tab below will open and you can choose where you want to leave it ( i like to add it to the collapsible menu next to the fixed one on the right of the screen )
As you can see, "properties" allows me to see the sizes of the shapes, their colors and so many other aspects of the shape selected. To change their color, all i do is select the shape I want, open "properties" and scroll down to "appearance". Most of the shapes only have "fill" enabled, so I click on the current color and choose a new one.
Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to help !
