You can easily shift the text placement, change the size, change the font, or change the color. Adding ColorĪdd color by just selecting a square and then clicking on the box next to “Fill/Border.” Adding LabelsĪdd labels by clicking the “T” icon and entering the text somewhere on the page.

I’ll make mine 50 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall. Adjust the size of the square using the panel in the upper right hand of the screen.

It doesn’t matter which you choose, you can create multiple artboards of different sizes within each Adobe XD file. Start by creating an artboard in Adobe XD.
