STYLE 03 COLOR SCHEME 3’S CARD FRONT TEMPLATES ARE COMPOSED OF 100+ GRAPHICAL LAYOUT ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE EASILY COLOR-EDITED (EITHER USING THE COLOR-PICKER, OR INCLUDED LAYER STYLES). ALL ELEMENTS OF THE CARD TEMPLATE ARE ORGANIZED INTO NEATLY ARRANGED PHOTOSHOP LAYER GROUPS, ALLOWING FOR CONVENIENT LAYOUT CHANGES BY ADJUSTING LAYER GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL LAYER VISIBILITY SETTINGS. ALL GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS ARE SORTED INTO 5 MAIN LAYER GROUPS: LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER, ARTWORK, AND BACKGROUNDS.
STYLE 03 COLOR SCHEME 3’S REAR CARD TEMPLATE HAS 80+ GRAPHICAL LAYOUT ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE EASILY COLOR-EDITED (EITHER USING THE COLOR-PICKER, OR INCLUDED LAYER STYLES).

INCLUDED IN MODERN AGE (STYLE SERIES I) STYLE 03 COLOR SCHEME 3 ARE A PLETHORA OF ICONS THAT CAN BE USED IN CARD DESIGNS. A FOLDER NAMED “ICONS” CONTAINS 50 ICONS IN .PNG FORMAT AS WELL AS A .PSD FILE CONTAINING ALL 50 ICONS IN FULLY EDITABLE PHOTOSHOP SHAPE FORMAT. STYLE 03 COLOR SCHEME 3 HOSTS 22 COMIC/ANIME GENRE/THEME SPECIFIC ICONS NOT FOUND IN STYLE 01 OR STYLE 02 CARD TEMPLATES. THE VECTOR BASED NATURE OF PHOTOSHOP SHAPES MAKES THESE ICONS SCALABLE TO ANY SIZE, WITHOUT REDUCTION IN GRAPHICS QUALITY. OPENING THE .PSD ICON FILE REVEALS A LAYER GROUP CONTAINING THE 50 DIFFERENT ICONS ON SEPARATE LAYERS NAMED AFTER THE IDEAS THEY REPRESENT. SOME ARE MORE SUBJECTIVE IN NATURE THAN OTHERS TO PROVIDE CARD MAKERS WITH FLEXIBILITY IN DEFINING MORE ORIGINAL IDEAS. ALL OF THE ICONS ARE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED INTO THE CARD FRONT FILES AS SMART OBJECTS, IN SPECIALLY DESIGNATED “TEXT/ICON” LAYER GROUPS. THIS ELIMINATES ANY NEED TO PLACE ANY ICONS DIRECTLY INTO THE CARD DESIGN UNLESS DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE CARD’S DESIGN ARE MADE BY THE USER.
