Creating a New Project: Predefined Templates

Articus extends its creative capabilities by providing you with the choice to initiate projects through a selection of carefully crafted, predefined templates. Whether you're looking to create eye-catching social media graphics, professional banners, or stunning visual content for any purpose, Articus' collection of templates offers a starting point that aligns with your project's goals and requirements.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

• Create a new project using predefined templates

• Generate AI images for your project

• & import or use images from the Pixabay library

Create a new project using predefined templates

From the dashboard, click on  "Create new project.

Follow the prompts to set up your project, including adding a project name and selecting a canvas size. You can choose from predefined sizes like Facebook or Instagram, or configure a custom size. Click on "Continue."

On the left side, you'll find the option to either view all templates or narrow them down by categories. You can also "search templates" at the top right side.

Select a template from your chosen category then click on "Create Project."

This will take you to the canvas view, displaying the selected template.

Generate AI images for your project

Similar to a blank template, you can customize your project using Articus AI-generated images. Click on "Generate" in the top menu to add an AI-generated image.

Instruct Articus on the image you'd like to create. For instance, you can request an image like "a long blue summer."

Choose the number of variations you'd like from 1 to 10 images.   

Click on "Generate."

Articus will start generating images based on your prompt.

Once completed, you can see the image variations and choose to "Download" or "Add to Canvas."

Import or use images from the Pixabay library

To add an imported image, click on "Image" tool in the top menu. The side panel will open, allowing you to choose an image file from your device (in PNG, GIF, or JPG format).

The imported image will be shown in the left side panel and you can add multiple images if needed.

Click on the image to drag and drop it onto your canvas.

Alternatively, select an image from the Pixabay library.

In the search field enter the details for the types of image you're looking for. For example, "orange summer dress."

Click on "Search." Give Articus a few moments to think.

Click on the image to drag and drop it onto your canvas.
