hidden=\"hidden\"><p>hi-oh zip from elemental here in this<br \/>video you&#8217;ll learn how to liven up your<br \/>designs with cool colorful shapes just<br \/>like you see here they are made with<br \/>elemental using a cool design trick so<br \/>let&#8217;s dive in and see how it&#8217;s done we<br \/>will be working on this pre design page<br \/>over here let&#8217;s add some colorful shapes<br \/>to bring it to life we will start with<br \/>the circles instead of using image files<br \/>we can use a nifty design trick to<br \/>create easily adjustable shapes so how<br \/>do we create circles in Elementor first<br \/>off drag is space the widgets into the<br \/>column over here then under advanced<br \/>background set the background color you<br \/>want the circle to be next we will set<br \/>its height and width and the content<br \/>changes height now under advanced custom<br \/>positioning set the width to custom and<br \/>make sure to set the custom width to the<br \/>same as the height so you end up with a<br \/>square now before turning it into a<br \/>circle let&#8217;s set its position to<br \/>absolute and place it over here in order<br \/>to turn it into a circle go to border<br \/>and change the border radius unit to<br \/>percentage and set it to 50 cool now<br \/>even if you change its size it will<br \/>always remain a circle got it<br \/>nice let&#8217;s create another yet slightly<br \/>smaller circle and this time only with a<br \/>border so duplicate the circle and move<br \/>it over here now in advanced give it a<br \/>solid border and some width then change<br \/>its color as you can see the circle<br \/>seems a bit squished don&#8217;t worry we&#8217;ll<br \/>fix it soon first let&#8217;s clear the<br \/>background color so it will be easier on<br \/>our eyes okay great now let&#8217;s turn it<br \/>into a circle again in order to do so<br \/>remember this when creating circles with<br \/>the border using this spacer concept<br \/>always add twice the amount of the<br \/>border width in pixels to the custom<br \/>width in our case the border width is<br \/>set to 3 pixels so under custom<br \/>positioning we should add 6 pixels to<br \/>the width cool our circle is back now<br \/>let&#8217;s make the circle a bit smaller and<br \/>the content set the spacer to 50 pixels<br \/>and based on what we just learned set<br \/>the custom width 256 pixels as you can<br \/>see creating circles is a breeze now<br \/>let&#8217;s add some custom rectangles to<br \/>liven up our title a bit drag a spacer<br \/>widget under the heading and in advanced<br \/>and a background give it a color back in<br \/>content set the space to 220 pixels to<br \/>match the height of the heading widget<br \/>now back in advanced ina a lot of<br \/>back-and-forth it&#8217;s worth it and the<br \/>custom positioning set the width to<br \/>custom and set it to 30 pixels now let&#8217;s<br \/>fix its position a bit change it to<br \/>absolute and set the orientations to<br \/>left and bottom in order to responsively<br \/>align the rectangles with the heading<br \/>widget with tablet and mobile in mind<br \/>we&#8217;ll change the offset units to<br \/>percentage now place it next to the<br \/>heading like so cool now just duplicate<br \/>and move it a bit to the right good job<br \/>our hero section is done let&#8217;s move on<br \/>to the next section I&#8217;ll add some<br \/>circles here as well so go ahead<br \/>right-click the circle and hit copy now<br \/>in the second section paste it in the<br \/>column over here and move it to where<br \/>you like then change its height and in<br \/>advanced and the custom width said its<br \/>width accordingly now let&#8217;s create<br \/>another circle only with a border so hit<br \/>duplicate move it a bit and then change<br \/>its height and width like before add a<br \/>border and change its color then remove<br \/>the background color now let&#8217;s add a<br \/>square on the side over here by<br \/>duplicating this circle then in custom<br \/>positioning set its orientations to<br \/>right and bottom change the color and<br \/>turn it into a square by removing the<br \/>border radius which is set before cool<br \/>let&#8217;s add a larger square next to it<br \/>duplicate the Blue Square and change its<br \/>height and width remove the background<br \/>color then give it a border give it a<br \/>nice color<br \/>and move it over here and that&#8217;s on hits<br \/>update and check it out cool well that&#8217;s<br \/>it now you know how to create cool<br \/>easily adjustable and colorful shapes<br \/>using the spacer widget to really liven<br \/>up your designs don&#8217;t forget to<br \/>subscribe to our YouTube channel
