💡 Design Tips

  • make sure backgrounds fully cover the canvas area

  • transparent gaps near the edges may affect final outputs

  • avoid placing important graphics or text too close to the edges to prevent cropping during printing

  • test overlays and layouts before going live

  • use transparent PNG files for layered designs

  • preview designs using actual event photos
