A great deal of finesse is needed when you design color stickers. Sticker printing is not your typical poster or banner print. Stickers, which are generally smaller in nature, need very precise design manipulation so that everything can fit perfectly within the small confines of a standard sticker layout. In this special guide, I am going to teach you how to finesse some of the design elements for most color stickers. Just try to learn and master some of these common design application features.
Auto-Scaling
One of the very first things that you should pay attention to when designing your stickers is the scaling of text and images. To maintain the perfect aspect ratio of your images and text, you must always scale them down or up with a fixed ratio. This means that the height and width parameters of the images and text must always be linked according to its original ratio.
Many applications for desktop publishing do allow this kind of auto-scaling and it is important to learn where this is so that you can design your color stickers in a precise manner with the best looking scaled down graphics. Just try to use the help feature on your software or just look for a tutorial online to see how to sale your images properly for your custom stickers.
Auto-Selection And Cropping
Another important key feature that you can use to handle your designs with finesse are the automatic selection features and cropping. Many design applications such as Adobe Photoshop can allow you to select certain areas of an image and then remove or crop it down to make space or lift some elements for a better design.
