How to use Rulers, Grids and Guides in Adobe |
Take a look at the following 2 banners using the same template below. Notice any differences?
...
Let’s add some blue guide lines to help. See anything now?

Notice how we’ve created a way to more easily see equal spacing and alignment of objects
Let’s compare the Boise State logo in both banners
You can see the logo on bottom is larger
Both logos should fit within the boxes created which provides equal spacing on all 4 sides
Now let’s look at the left boxes
Since ‘ART 100’ contains more characters than ‘ODP’ its okay that their widths differ, since we want font size for those to stay the same
The line below, ‘INTRODUCTION TO ART’ is only 1 line and the font size may need to be adjusted to span the width of the orange box which gives us a uniform text block, that’s centered
The ODP banner uses 2 lines for the title, so it makes sense that text block would be slightly taller
By using rulers and guides in your designs, you’ll end up with more professional looking graphics!
