2. You now need to import your background image. This should fill the entire file.
3. Create guides. Otherwise you will recognize all lines within the image later, which does not look very nice.
4. Go to the "View" tab. Here you can have a new guide line created.
5. Make sure that you keep the minimum dimensions in the tablet and smartphone view. Denn nur so können Sie gewährleisten, dass ein Teil des Bildes nicht abgeschnitten wird.
6. Nachdem alle Hilfslinien erstellt wurden, können Sie jetzt Ihr Logo und Ihren Text platzieren.
