Create a Fashion Store Product Page
In the following tutorial you will learn how to create a sleek fashion store page in Graphic for Mac.
For starters you will learn how to set up a simple grid and how to import & edit photos in Graphic. You will learn how to mask shapes or images and how to easily adjust them. Using basic tools, you will learn how to create the main vector shapes. Moving on, you will learn how to add subtle shading using the Effects pane and how to cleverly use the Label feature.
You'll learn how to increase your work speed with the aid of the Snap to Grid and the Smart Guides features and how to add and adjust text fields. Finally, you will learn how to import and edit several SVG files.
Step 1
For this tutorial we'll create a 3000 x 1900 px document. Go to File > New (Command + N) to bring up the New Document panel. Select the Grid document style and set the document units to pixels. Set the document dimensions to 3000 pixels wide by 1900 pixels high and then click Choose to create your document.
Next, we'll adjust the document grid. Switch to the Grid pane in the Properties panel. You can easily open or close the Properties panel using that ruler icon. Change the X & Y Spacing to 10, set the Subdivisions to 0 and don't forget to enable Snap to Grid—all these features will make your work easier.
Keep in mind that you can quickly enable or disable the grid and the Snap to Grid feature using the Command + ' and the Command + Shift + ' keyboard shortcuts.
Step 2
Open your web browser and download the 3888 x 2592 version this jeans photo.
Step 3
drag the jeans photo inside your Graphic document and make sure that it stays selected.
Go to the Geometry pane from the Properties panel. Make sure that the aspect ratio is locked and set the Width to 3360 px.
Move to the Alignment pane from the Properties panel and then click the Horizontal Centers and the Vertical Centers commands to easily move your image in the center of the canvas.
Step 4
