Which mysteries are hiding behind the mask of your character?
DESCRIPTION:
This silly seven-page Google Doc is designed for your Mystery Incorporated single muse. I went for a more graphic touch than my usual designs, and I loved making this an explosion of color and groovy shapes. There's a general "super bright" version, and then one color-coded for each member of the Scooby Gang! I know the flowers aren't perfectly accurate, but this was the only way that I knew how to make them from drawings. Because of this, yes, every single element can be changed to another color of your choice, in case the ones I picked aren't tickling your fancy. Everything is made within Google Docs' functions/shapes, so it's totally amenable to what you'd like to bring your boo to life! Your wish is the template's color scheme command!
Complexity Level: So, due to the fun shapes of the images, they're all "housed" in the Drawings function. But I've tried to make it as easy as possible by almost always putting everything on the same drawing per page, to limit having to click around and such. So you'll be able to edit the text from any mobile app pretty easily, but the design, colors, and images will have to be done on a desktop of some kind.
Page Order: Decided to do something a bit out of my ordinary! Cover, introduction, backstory, personality, appearance, details, and connections.
TIPS ON MAKING IT YOUR OWN:
- For full editing capabilities, you will need to access this template on a computer. Templates are viewable on mobile if you toggle the "Print Layout" option (likely to be found in the top-right menu).
- Text, colors, and layout elements can be adjusted to fit your needs. Nonetheless, do not remove the linked emoji [✵] and credit link [template by kaleidoscope docs ✵] that direct to my Tumblr.
- In my work, visuals are often added as Google "Drawings". If you click on an image, you can tell if it's a regular photo or a Drawing because a Drawing has a little bar pop up across the bottom of the selection that has an "✎ Edit " button in the bottom left. Drawings are completely editable (even more so than images!) once you open the Drawings Editing Window. You either click that "✎ Edit" button or double-click the image (when you already have the image selected). I recommend the button because sometimes that double-tap glitches. Nonetheless, either of these actions will open the Drawing Editing Window. This will allow you to replace photos and change colors of shapes like you would normally.
- Often times in my newer templates, I put the Drawings in headers because then they aren't in your way when editing text. (This makes the text easier to edit in mobile apps, although Drawings themselves can only be edited on desktops/laptops.) To access the header, double-tap at the top of the page first. Then click on the background Drawing once, which will allow you to then open Drawing for editing!
- Avoid copy-pasting images directly into the document, as this may disrupt the formatting. Always use the "Replace Image" function instead.
- Be mindful of text limits and the sizes of text boxes, as exceeding what is already in the template can disrupt the formatting.
YOU WILL RECEIVE:
- A PDF with a link to the template's Google Doc.
- This includes instructions on how to make your own copy and protect it properly.
- A PDF with usage instructions and troubleshooting support options.
NOTES:
- I would've loved to spend forever fancasting, but then I would've never made this template. So. Don't take that too seriously haha. They're just someone I found cute in general; I didn't bother overthinking things and making their ages match up to one another or whatever. Just vibes! But if you're curious, I used Luka Sabbat as Shaggy, Michael Provost as Fred, Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova as Daphne, and Haley Lu Richardson as Velma.
