Art Director Toolkit

About this plugin

Efficiently crank out designs and decks like a Bawse by automating tedious tasks like grid layouts, item distribution, block layouts, randomizing objects, and text cleanup.

Watch the tutorial videos here for a quick primer on the tools.

Auto Grid Layout Tool:

Crank out mood boards by laying out items in a variety of grid formats:

• Basic Grid: Equal subdivision based on number of columns
• Columns: Masonry grid layout based on columns. Column heights are adjusted to fit within margins.
• Rows: Masonry grid layout based on rows. Row widths are adjusted to fit within margins.
• Random: Interlocking grid layout. Seeded randomness creates predictable variations.
• Auto Columns: Intelligently creates a column based grid while maintaining visual order of items.
• Auto Rows: Intelligently creates a row based grid while maintaining visual order of items.

Distribute Tool:

Intelligently distribute items within the selection bounds with a desired gap. You can choose to have items maintain their size ratios and scale up/down to create the desired spacing. Or they can all resize to have an equal width/height with a desired spacing in between

Blockify Tool:

Blockify your selection with a single click either vertically or horizontally. The tool automatically detects the order of elements. The tool also intelligently scales text to fit the block based on the visual outlines of the text vs white space borders in the text.

Swap Fills:

Quickly swap the fills of two selected elements. If more than two elements are selected, the tool randomly swaps the fills among the selection.

Randomizer:

Add randomness to items based on position, rotation and scale. Set the min and max values for precise control. Seeded randomness creates predictable patterns.

Text Tools:

Text cleanup quickly removes extra spaces from a text block.

Make Single Para will remove any paragraph breaks from the selected text and turn everything into a single paragraph.

Color Hashtags:

Quickly add a desired color to all hashtags within the selected text/text blocks.
