EZ Composites - Layout Designer

Images Ratio and Edge Margins

Min Slot and Min Row Spacings

The slot or row that is in green text will be what the spacing goes off of. It’s not always possible to include both spacings if the rows or columns are too far apart (see example below for a visual example).

Starting off, set the row and slot spacings to the same settings to get familiar with how they adjust.

As a general rule: The smaller the images, the smaller the
spacing.

Note: When both the slot and row settings are set to the same values, the row spacing will always have a little more gap to create separation from the name and portrait below.

Extra Empty Columns

Extra empty columns are used when: columns > row with maximum number of images. We’ll use this center graphics template as an example.

Example: Extra Empty Slot – 2

Example: Starting Slot Number – 4

Note: Your final templates must always start with slot 1. However, you may want to use one (or more) custom slots for memory mates for example.
