Stunning layouts the easy way

 

Have you ever imagined a stack which works like a graphics app? With a canvas on which you can arrange text, images and svgs? And layers you can switch on and off, reorder, and group? Which brings the latest web developments, with backwards compatibility for legacy browsers? Welcome to LockUp, the stack that lets you combine multiple elements to make beautiful, arresting, effective compositions. Now with text animation.

It’s a different kind
of container

LockUp creates a space into which you can put any kind of content and position it exactly where you want it to be. Items in the stack will remain in the same relation to each other at every size. And each element is independent: nothing affects anything else.

It’s a graphics-app style layer stack

Add as many layers as you want, labelling each one. Layers can be grouped together using the LockUp Include stack. When you hide layers in Edit mode, they collapse to easily identified stripes. Select the layer you want and switch to Preview for accurate positioning.

It’s a super-charged headline stack

Create arresting treatments combining text, graphic and image elements. LockUp Text supports OpenType features, fine controls for perfect typography and a wide range of type treatments including gradient and image fills and blend modes.

It opens up new
web technologies

LockUp is responsive right the way through, using viewport units by default to scale smoothly. But it’ll let you use the new container units (with legacy compatibility). It also provides access to the amazing features of variable and color fonts, including animation.

A different way of working

 

LockUp is designed to be set up in Edit mode but used in Preview. Each item — word, line, paragraph, image or svg — is placed in a new LockUp stack. With the current stack selected, it is then easy to position and style it precisely in Preview. Stacks 5’s new menu and keyboard commands then make it easy to navigate from stack to stack without switching back to Edit mode. Stacks are identifiable in the hud by the label you give them.

EXCELLENCE
IN TYPOGRAPHY
IS THE RESULT
OF NOTHING
MORE THAN
AN ATTITUDE.
