The provided reference only demonstrates how to move a shape to the background and how to fill/border it, not the initial process of adding one. Therefore, a comprehensive answer requires information beyond what is available in the given context. Based on common user interface conventions for similar tools, here's how you likely add shapes in Adobe Express:
-
Locate the Shapes Tool: Look for a "Shapes" icon or option in the left-hand toolbar or within an "Add" menu. It may be represented by a circle, square, or other geometric figure.
-
Select a Shape: Once you've located the Shapes tool, click on it. A panel or menu should appear, displaying a variety of pre-designed shapes, such as rectangles, circles, triangles, stars, and more. Choose the shape you want to add to your design.
-
Add the Shape to Your Canvas:
- Click and Drag: Click on your canvas and drag your mouse to draw the shape. The size and proportions of the shape will change as you drag. Release the mouse button when you're satisfied with the shape's size and position.
- Single Click: Some programs add the shape at a default size and position when you single click the canvas. You can then resize and reposition it.
-
Customize the Shape: After adding the shape, you can modify its appearance. Look for options to change:
- Fill Color: Choose a color to fill the inside of the shape.
- Border Color: Select a color for the shape's outline (border). As shown in the video excerpt.
- Border Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the shape's outline.
- Size and Position: Resize the shape by dragging its corner handles. Reposition it by clicking and dragging the shape to a new location.
- Opacity: Change the transparency of the shape.
It's important to note that the exact location of tools and options can vary slightly depending on the version of Adobe Express you're using. Look for visual cues and tooltips if you are unsure.
