Designer

The Designer is the creative heart of Myra. It is a powerful, browser-based visual canvas that eliminates the need for expensive third-party design software. Whether you are crafting a high-conversion email or a 20-page business proposal, the Designer provides the precision and tools you need.

The Canvas Experience

The Designer uses a "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) interface. It is built to be intuitive for beginners but deep enough for professional designers.

Precision Tools: Use the snap-to-grid system, smart alignment guides, and rulers to ensure pixel-perfect layouts.
Element Library: Drag and drop various elements onto the canvas, including:
- Text: Advanced typography controls with support for Google Fonts and custom uploads.
- Shapes & Icons: A library of thousands of vector icons and customizable geometric shapes.
- Media: Images, videos, and even interactive QR codes.
- Data Widgets: Live charts and tables that can pull data directly from your CRM.
Navigation: Use the zoom controls (10% to 800%) and the "Hand Tool" to navigate complex, large-scale designs.

Mastering Layers and Pages

To manage complex designs, the Designer utilizes a robust layer system similar to professional photo editing software.

Every object added to the canvas appears in the Layers sidebar. From here, you can:

Rename Layers: Stay organized by naming your elements (e.g., "Main Header," "CTA Button").
Locking: Lock elements in place so they aren't accidentally moved while you work on other parts of the design.
Z-Index Control: Easily move elements forward or backward to manage overlapping graphics.
Grouping: Select multiple elements and group them to move or resize them as a single unit.

Multi-page Layouts

For proposals, eBooks, or social media carousels, you can manage multiple pages within a single design file. The Pages sidebar allows you to drag-and-drop to reorder, duplicate pages to maintain consistency, and set specific background colors for individual pages.

Brand Kit Integration

Efficiency comes from consistency. The Brand Kit ensures that your designs always align with your corporate identity.

Color Palettes: Store your primary, secondary, and accent HEX codes. They will appear at the top of the color picker in every design.
Typography: Set your default Heading 1, Heading 2, and Body fonts.
Logo Repository: Keep various versions of your logo (Full Color, White, Icon Only) ready for instant placement.
One-Click Re-skinning: If you start with a template, you can click "Apply Brand Kit" to instantly swap the template's colors and fonts for your own.

AI-Powered Creative Tools

Myra integrates cutting-edge AI directly into the Designer to speed up your workflow.

AI Image Generation: Describe what you need (e.g., "A modern office with natural light and plants, cinematic style") and the AI will generate four unique images for you to use.
Magic Background Remover: Select any photo and click "Remove Background." Our AI identifies the subject and creates a clean cutout in seconds.
AI Copywriter: Highlight a text box and ask the AI to "Make this more professional," "Shorten it," or "Rewrite this as a catchy headline."
Auto-Layout: If you have several elements scattered on the page, the "Tidy Up" AI tool can suggest a balanced, aesthetically pleasing arrangement.

Real-Time Collaboration

The Designer is built for teams. You no longer need to export drafts and email them for feedback.

Live Cursors: See exactly where your teammates are clicking and what they are editing in real-time.
Comments & Mentions: Right-click any element to leave a comment. Tag a colleague (e.g., "@Sarah, can we change this image?") to send them a notification.
Version History: Every change is saved automatically. If you make a mistake, you can browse through the version history and restore the design to any previous state from the last 30 days.

Exporting and Publishing

Once your design is ready, Myra makes it easy to get it in front of your audience.

Direct to Channel: Send your design directly to the Email Composer, Social Post Scheduler, or Proposal Builder.
Format Options:
- PDF: High-quality for printing or official documents.
- PNG/JPG: Optimized for web use and social media.
- HTML: Clean, responsive code for email templates that look great in every inbox.
Public Link: Generate a "View Only" link to share your design with clients for approval without them needing an account.

Best Practices

Use Templates: Don't start from scratch. Our template library is designed by professionals and categorized by industry.
Mobile Preview: Always use the "Toggle Preview" button to see how your design looks on mobile devices before publishing.
Asset Folders: Keep your Asset Library organized by creating folders for different campaigns or clients.
