Adding Patterns and Textures

Using Patterns and Textures in Your Designs

Mail Designer 365's collection of patterns and textures make a great addition to your email newsletters. Here's how to use them in your design...

Head to the "Contents" menu, then to the "Images" tab. Here you will find "Textures":

Scroll through the list of patterns and textures. Once you have found the pattern you want to use, drag it into the layout block background:

Scroll through the list of patterns and textures. Once you have found the pattern you want to use, drag it into the design background:

This will apply the pattern to the entire background of your design.
