Design Tutorial (2min 37secs)
Overview
Welcome to the Fusion Signage Designer and Marketplace, where you can quickly create professional looking content from scratch, or access hundreds of amazing templates in our marketplace.
Let’s get started!
In the Design section you’ll see two tabs at the top. ‘Marketplace’ is where you can browse to purchase new templates. It’s filled with a collection of done-for-you, professional templates that can be purchased for a one-time price, to reuse on your account forever.
And ‘My Templates’ is where any templates you have purchased or created will be stored.
Let’s create your first Design. Click the ‘Create’ button, then ‘New Design’ and give your design a name. Leave the type as normal for now, and select the orientation to match your screen.
There are two tabs here. In ‘Default Templates’ you can choose from a selection of basic layouts to help you get started, or just create a blank design.
Let’s choose the ‘Half and Half’ Default template, and click Create.
Welcome to the Designer!
At the top you can see an option to edit the design name, and open the folder you’ve saved it in (once it has been saved).
On the left you have controls allowing you to add design elements, including things like current weather, time and news.
You can set the background to be a colour, an image or a video. The Layers section at the bottom allows you to easily find items on the canvas, lock them, or bring them to the front or back.
Next to the canvas, you have a range of editing tools. You can even set the exact position and alignment of any selected items.
On the canvas, you can click and drag to reposition any object, or scale it up or down or rotate it using the handles. Hold control to select multiple items at once.
Double click to edit text. The objects editing options will appear at the top.
You can add your own images or browse over a millon free-to-use, professional stock photos from Unsplash.
The image mode allows you to choose how the image fits within the object: contain will keep the same proportions, and cover will crop the image to fit.
Once you are happy with your design, click Save. You can select Save As to choose a new name and location for your design. Or, save as a ‘Template’ and your design will appear in your ‘My Templates’ section, allowing you to create new designs from this template.
Choose the folder you want to save the design to, and press Save!
You can now add this design to a Playlist, or edit it again from the Manage section. Keep in mind that if your design is currently playing on any playlists, any change you make to the design will be live on the screen once you click save.
