graphic design using coreldraw x6

Hi guys.

Good day believe you are all doing okay wherever you are. So recently I stumbled upon some post made by at elear and have been going through it for the past few days and the best part is that it keeps getting better as each day passes. New functions are been implemented each day to better serve the users. Talking about utopian.io, it is an open source project that pays its contributors in steem. At first it seems unreal right? But they do and if you yet to believe me, you can click here go through the site to confirm it.

According to some articles it says utopian is only 2 weeks old and it is already looking this awesome imagine the long run let’s say a year from now it would have been fully developed then and all needed functions added respectively, from my point of view I say this is the best time to get involve with this awesome project. Don’t be the type that will end up regretting later saying if only they knew sooner, but now am telling you. Time to get busy, presently they are looking for contributors that will bring the project forward make it more lively, user friendly and awesome you name it. So it doesn’t matter what you know or don’t know yet, if you can read this post great you already good with English although I might not type it exactly to meet your taste but communication them say

Is the act of passing information, not just any information but understandable information/message in which the receiver can decode and reply correctly.

So I believe my communication skill is a little better. To get the list of contributions needed click here. You never know you might just end up been a big deal in this developing community so don’t be shy step forward present whatever you have to offer and if there is need to correct or modify your work, there is always someone available to put you through.

My contribution would be graphic design and I hope you enjoy it, I don’t consider myself as been perfect yet but I believe when we both bring ideas together we are sure to create something that’s absolutely beautiful, awesome and worth our time so without wasting much time, this is my design, I created not too long ago, the idea was gotten from an image I got while surfing google. If there is need to replace anything please do so to tell me and I will get back to it soonest as possible.

The above was done using CorelDraw x6

Let’s do something a little fun am going to show you the different parts that makes up the above design, after all when single we accomplish less but together we are able to create something beautiful and worthy. So please don’t get bored with me and I hope you get some ideas while browsing through the Images.

The first step is to create the top design, this can be accomplished with the aid of pen, shape tool and some interactive color tool.

You make a line using pen, make it dual to touch the beginning as well as the end, upon completion, you convert your line to a curve using the shape tool, now drag the already converted curve to meet your taste do the same for the line under it as well.

Now we are going to divide the line into two.

Unlike a straight line were you can just draw a line across it to bisect it, that won’t work here. Reason we are dealing with a curve so we need a curve as well to cut it. Reason for this is that upon completion we will be able to different this two bisected part with the help of colors so when we view it, it will look like it was made separately.

Now apply the color(s)

We are going to make use of smart fill tool. I personally love this tool, reason is that it is able to distinguish between two separate part and the color you select/pick is what is applied to the selected part of the design. We have successfully apply the color to one aspect to do the other we are going to make use of Interactive fill tool. As the name suggest it is able to interact with the design and only the selected part is worked on. So that ends our top view.

The down view is not that complicated, all it requires is making a copy of the top view.

Make a copy of the top view by highlighting all this can be done by pressing/holding the cntrl key and that is cntrl+a and to copy the work you press cntrl+c to copy and then to paste the work you click cntrl+v to paste, then you change the view by mirroring either horizontal and vertical, drag it to some meters away from the top design.

To make the intersection.

With the help of pen tool, draw a shape that cuts across the top and bottom design intersecting both design and place it at the back of both designs, by right click, choose order and place at the back.

To make a circle.

You draw your ellipse, your hand should be on cntrl so that a circular shape is gotten rather than an ellipse, now using the interactive fill tool drag and place the color as you see fit. To make the design embedded within with use artist tool choose our desired font and place it inside the circle.

The last is your write-up

Using your text tool make a write-up that talks about what you did, it ca be anything change the color as you see fit from the color options, drag the text to the positon of your choice.

Convert the design to the file format you need

The end result is the design above

Like I said earlier the above is not a step so to speak, but on my future post I would try my best to make it as easy as possible for you.
