# How to create designs

> This section explains how you may work with various design elements in Template Editor. It covers different aspects, including:

- Working with [pages](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/pages.md) and [layers](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/layers.md), as well as general information on how you [manipulate design elements](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/manipulating-items.md) in a workspace.
   - Editing some general item properties, like [location and transformations](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/transforming-items.md), [fill and border](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/fill-and-border.md), [blending options](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/blending-options.md), [text wrapping](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/text-wrapping.md), and [overprint settings](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/overprint.md). Another important subject is [how you work with colors](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/designers-manual/template-editor/how-to-create-designs/color-picker.md).
