Q. Can users select an image from a variety of design images with Auto Design?
11 design themes are provided such as season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter), Natural, Lively,
Casual, Classy, Elegant, Cute, and Classic.
To convey their design ideas and preferences, clients tend to use sensory and emotive adjectives
and expressions when discussing poster designs with professional designers or production
classy
companies. For instance, a client may voice a preference for a look for a poster for luxury
lively look
furniture or a for a gym event.
These 11 themes are the collection of key adjective words for poster making.
The Auto Design feature jells the client's abstract imagery instead of professional designers.
Q. Can a design image created with Auto Design be subsequently edited manually?
Yes. Because the basic concept of Auto Design is to provide templates incorporating user photos,
after users choose their favorable design images from design candidates created by Auto Design,
users can edit or modify them as desired. (All editing functions are available.)
Q. Can users just change the color of a design image presented with Auto Design, if they wish?
For each image of the theme designs (Classy, Casual, and so on), color palettes suited to those
images are available. When users wish to change the overall color of a presented design image,
they can select another color arrangement in the Auto Design dialog box.
After users fixed a design, they can also modify colors of specific areas with regular editing
functions.
Q. Besides the provided images, can users incorporate images they have created themselves?
PosterArtist supports graphics in bmp, JPEG, wmf, emf, tif, and png formats, so files supporting
these formats can be used with Auto Design.
Q. What is Design Check?
Design Check identifies any potential problems in the design after poster editing. For example, a
warning symbol is displayed if there is a potential problem with text superimposed on images, or
many fonts are used in the design. Users can click the warning symbol to view an explanation of
the warning, and they can fix the poster as needed.
Q. Do you plan to offer additional templates?
We plan to offer contents such as templates and artworks in a content download site that is to be
launched under Canon's imagePROGRAF PosterArtist Site, www.usa.canon.com/posterartist. This
website will serve as a source to offer information such as poster design tips and useful ways of
PosterArtist. The content will be updated, so we encourage users to visit often.
