| Start with an appropriate template | Saves time but might not be just quite right |
| Change Template Fonts | Using different fonts or font attributes is an easy way to personalize a template. Experiment, especially with headline text, to change the look and mood of your piece. |
| Change Text Formatting | You can change the leading, paragraph indents or spacing specified in the original template. |
| Change Template Colors | If you like the overall layout of the template but the colors aren't quite right for you, change them. Go lighter or brighter. |
| Change the Layout | Take an almost perfect template and make it just right by moving parts of it around. It might work. |
| Change the Template Graphics | Add your own clip art and graphics in place of any pre-selected graphics used in the template. |
| Save Your Modified or New Template | Whether it's a modified template design or one you've created from scratch — save it as a template. If it's right for one job, it may be right for another. |
| Use Templates for Inspiration | Use templates as a starting point. Just browsing through the various templates — even ones unrelated to your current design project — can give you ideas |
