How to create shapes, like rectangles, squares, circles and lines.

You can’t rely on just images for your design elements. Proposify has tools that help you add some extra design elements to help your copy stand out.

Making Shapes

Depending on the kind of shape you’re looking for, the instructions are a little different. Take a look below.

Squares/Rectangles

To make a shape, select shapes from the right-hand toolbar:

From there, click and drag your cursor across the page where you would like the shape. You can also click for a simple square.

Circles

To make a circle, first make a square. Next, in the menu pane, set corners to 100.

Triangles

While Proposify excels at the circle and square, Triangles get a bit more complicated. Here’s how to make one:

1. Make a square

2. Make another square, then change the colour of it to the background of your document.

3. Move the “invisible” shape over the original and rotate it by clicking and dragging outside one of the corners.

You can use the arrange function to move the images to the foreground or background. Click here to read more on how to arrange your elements.
