Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for recolouring a vector graphic. Dominant colours defined by the vector graphic are determined, and a set of file colour groups is generated by associating file colours with dominant colours defined by the vector graphic. Colour change input data defining a particular file colour group and a new colour is received, and in response a colour transformation is determined. Corresponding transformed file colours are then calculated using the colour transformation.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes accessing asset data defining a plurality of components.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes selecting a plurality of elements on a design page and, for each selected element, determining a plurality of edge bleed pairs, each edge bleed pair including a particular edge and a particular bleed of the design page. Each edge bleed pair is processed to determine whether the selected element should be resized, the determination being based on the position of the particular edge relative to the particular bleed. If the determination is that the element should be resized, the method involves resizing the selected element so that the element covers a greater portion of the particular bleed than was originally covered by the element.
