Here, we will provide tutorials on making buttons.
Introduction
For software we recommend the following:
- For Beginners
- Google Drawings is a very simple, easy to use program to get started with. It’s also browser-based, requiring no installation of software.
- For Intermediate Users
- Canva and Adobe Express are also browser-based and provide tools beyond Google Drawings.
- You may also want to explore PowerPoint and Google Slides for creating or artwork.
- GIMP is a free, open-source software that can be used for creating artwork, though it’s main focus is photo editing.
- For Advanced Users
- Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator are options for advanced users and industry standards. However, they require a paid account to access and download.
- Krita is a free, open-source alternative to Photoshop.
Please read our Policies on Button Making before continuing.
Templates
Templates are available here (note: the links below will create a Google Drawing Document, so make sure you are logged into Google Drive before clicking on them):
Want to use the template in a different program? After making the copy, download it in the desired format (we recommend PNG) and use it as needed.
