CorelDraw Tutorial - Font Creativity 1

let's learn about making creative with fonts, many fonts available are so beautiful with different characteristics. Sometimes we wonder if we see a design with a title that really stand out using font with character .... in fact it's the font or shape? But, who give a damn about that, all we need is some creativity with a little imagination

Fonts can be very meaningful for some designers, it could be remi
niscent of something, such as when they fall in love, a time and can be a very strong message, we notice a trend of fonts when the year 1966 or a few years ago when the late melanium.

3. After the countour, we must break it into separate between the result with the original form, then go to Arrange > Break Contour Group Appart, You know that the results of the contour if more than one step always results in a cohesive group. Then click on the results of the contour that has been separated (the two forms were in a state of one group), Ungroup them.
Click the first shape the content of the Fountain Fill> Radial





Choose Two color in "Color Blend", pick the black for " From " and pick orange for " To", and the rest make them on default set, click ok. Still on that the first shape, press F12



And it will be look like this :

4. Drag out the text, and create two line between the text, like this :


Click that two line without the text, then go to Effects > Blend


Put value 10 at the step, click apply...and it will be like this , (oh i forgot to drag out the line before blend from the text  ;))


then give the line white color, after that go to Effects > Power clip > Place inside container, then a little black arrow shown up, pointed that arrow to the text, and it will be like this  :


Then drag in back the text to the middle of the shape or DONT ASK !!, just do it ! click the text > hold the shift > click the orange shape > release the shift > press on keyboard letter "e"  > then press " c"....hahahaaha that the shortcut for align and distribute. THAT'S IT !!
