Design your main dashboard in your planner
Everyone loves flat-lay images to stand out their products from the crowd. I love it too. So I was wondering if I can have a beautiful planner main dashboard on my iPad and I can customize what I want. That’s why I started creating dashboard scene creation templates. So I can have my own desk where my planner, notebook, journals, and stickers are on my main dashboard planner. Is that cool?
You may ask what exactly dashboard scene creation is.
Dashboard scene creation template
Scene creation template
A dashboard scene creation template is a pre-designed layout or framework that provides a starting point for creating a dashboard scene. Flatlay is a type of photography or visual design that involves arranging and photographing objects from above, often on a flat surface such as a tabletop.
This template typically includes elements such as the background surface, lighting, objects or props to be included in the scene, and the arrangement of those objects on the surface. These templates can be customized and adapted to suit the specific needs of a project or brand style. They can help to streamline the creative process, as creators do not need to start from scratch every time they design a new flat-lay scene. Instead, they can use the template as a starting point and modify it to fit their vision.
In addition to saving time and effort, scene creation templates can also help to ensure consistency in the visual style and design of products. By using a template, creators can ensure that the scenes in their project are visually cohesive and fit together seamlessly.
Overall, a scene creation template is a useful tool for creating high-quality, visually appealing scenes in photography, graphic design, or other visual products.
Our dashboard scene creation templates are designed for digital planner creators who want to create a beautiful scene planner dashboard or product listing image. You can add or move elements whatever you like to create a unique main dashboard of your digital planner or product listing.
