We’re now going to look at how to use grids in our creative projects. You can use grids to make photo collages, mood boards and eye catching posters. With the Adobe Express Grid Maker, we can use a combination of stock photos and our own uploaded photos. The amount of customization available allows you to generate genuinely unique grids without having to start from scratch. We can access grids just by clicking on the icon on the left hand side and we have 40 different options of grid layouts for us to customize with our own imagery. So I can scale them just by dragging the corners and I can also adjust the spacing. I’ll add a background so you can see the padding here that I’m applying. So a bit more of that background is showing and the spacing is now increasing between each of the photos. Let’s make this nice and big. Now I can double click on any of the images in the grid to manipulate the positioning within the crop space. And with a similar process to what we had a couple of modules ago, I’m just going to drag and drop images from the media tab into that space. And then again by double clicking, I can just adjust it inside that space. Here is another grid that I’ve set up and the process is the exact same no matter what, one of the 40 grids that you decide to use.
