GDOC TEMPLATE: Red - A Wanted Lines Doc Template
And now for something completely different -- experiment time! I fell down a gdoc design rabbit hole recently, and after much trial and error, have finally produced something worth releasing. Say hello to RED, a single character planning/wanted lines doc.
This document features space for 4 aesthetic images/character pictures, personality traits, a sizeable blurb/summary text block, a small stat block with the basics pre-filled, and 3 wanted lines. Please be sure to read the "HOW TO USE" section before grabbing a copy for yourself. The link for the doc is at the bottom of this section!
HOW TO USE:
❣️ STEP 1: Open the gdoc via the link at the bottom of this page.
❣️ STEP 2: Go to File, and then select "Make Copy".
❣️ STEP 3: Save the copy to your own drive. This should give you editing access.
❣️ REMEMBER: When sharing your finished version of the document around, do not give editing privileges out to the general public or to people you don't 100% trust not to donk up your work. Make sure your permissions are set properly before your share your doc -- setting to "anyone with the link: viewer" or "anyone with the link: commenter" should be fine!
❣️ This gdoc is conditionally mobile compatible -- in most instances, this doc will not work on phone screens. However, the viewer can see the doc as intended on their phone by:
❣️ With the exception of the "HEADER" and "WANTED LINES" headers in each block, all text can be edited simply by clicking on the text you want to change and typing away.
❣️ All of the elements in this doc are either in tables or inserted with the Draw feature. I strongly suggest checking out the visual guide linked above to see how to customize the document.
❣️ To change the aesthetic board images, select them by clicking toward the top of the images where your cursor changes into a plus/cross. Then click "Edit." From here, you can use "Replace Image" and the Crop feature to adjust each image.
❣️ To change the color blocks and their headers, click on them toward the side or bottom where your cursor becomes a plus/cross. Again, click edit. Select the element to change its color. Click the text to edit the text.
❣️ If you have issues and need assistance, comment here. I will help as best as I am able, but I'm still a gdoc design novice, so we're going to be bumbling through it together. In general, though, if something is really goofed, you may be better off making a new copy of the template and starting over.
