In this next section, we鈥檙e going to look at how we work with artboards and layers. With this button on the top, we can view all of our artboards within our project. And with this plus icon, we can add more artboards. So this is very useful if you鈥檙e making a presentation, a multi-page PDF, or a carousel for social media. And we can delete them here as well. We can also, with the three dots, and then select duplicate page to make duplications of our selected artboard. And with the directional buttons in the project workspace, we can slide between all of the artboards within our project. In this example, I鈥檓 creating a carousel for social media. I鈥檝e duplicated my chocolate artboard. And as I can see, the text and the images have all duplicated. And now I鈥檓 just going to change the picture of chocolate ice cream for strawberry ice cream. When I drag the image onto the canvas, you鈥檒l notice that it is placed on top of the existing layers. And now we鈥檙e going to show a little bit on the project layer panel on the top right hand side. If you can鈥檛 see the layer panel in the top right hand corner, you may need to press this little layers icon to activate it. Now if we want to change the order of any element in the layer stack, we can simply just drag it and move it upwards or downwards. So for this case, we want the image to be at the bottom layer, so every other layer sits on top of it. I鈥檝e carried out the same process for the page featuring the vanilla ice cream. So using artboards, I鈥檓 able to quickly spin up this sort of social media carousel. With the button on top, I鈥檓 able to see all of the pages within the project. In this view, I can also reorder the pages within my project, just by dragging and dropping them. So I鈥檝e made my three pages, but perhaps I want to resize the content so that it is fit for different digital channels. So I can just select the resize button on the top, and then select from any number of suggested aspect ratios for express to duplicate my original piece into different artboards of those sizes. So I鈥檝e selected poster, video and flyer, and then I鈥檒l hit duplicate and resize. An express will duplicate every element of my original post onto artboards of different sizes. We can of course use the custom aspect ratio tool here to input a specific dimension for the artboard we want. I can double click on any of the artboards and then adjust the content so that it fits the new page exactly as I want it to. I鈥檝e carried out this process for strawberry and vanilla. And I鈥檓 going to show you a slightly different way to do it for the chocolate flavor. So I鈥檝e selected my background, and I鈥檝e set it as the page background. And then once I select the different sized artboards, express will attach that image as the background and stretch it and scale it to fill all of the available space. I can then double click that image and manipulate it within that cropped space.
