HOW TO DESIGN STEEMIT LOGO IN 5 MINUTES

[richi-3]

Hello steemians, I will be giving a few lessons on logo designs using CorelDraw.
Here is a tutorial on how to design Steemit logo.

Before we begin let me a give a brief intro to some CorelDraw tools we make use of in this tutorial.

PICK TOOL

It is used for selecting objects, moving, resizing, rotating objects.

SHAPE TOOL

It is used in editting a curved object (converting them to curves or straight lines) or text by employing the nodes on the object.

FREE HAND TOOL

It is used to draw curves and straight lines, it is more flexible than the bezeir tool.

ELLIPSE TOOL

For drawing circles and ellipses by left clicking and holding, then dragging the mouse to your desired shape size.

TRANSPARENCY TOOL

Used to reveal the image under an object to a limited degree.

COLOUR EYEDROPPER TOOL

It is used to pick colours from objects. it is mostly useful when the exact colour needed is not found in the color pallete. After picking the colour it can be added latter to the color pallete for easy reach.

INTERACTIVE FILL TOOL

Fill an object with colour with great flexibility, by changing the midpoint and perspective in which the colours would be applied. It can also be used to add gradient of two colours into an object

BEZEIR TOOL

It can be used to draw lines by picking the points one after the other, it can also be used in drawing curves segment by segment.

Lets begin

These are the shapes you'll need to design

STEP 1

Create a circle using the ellipse tool then select the circle with the Pick tool then tap the icon circled below to convert the shape to curve which enables you to manipulate the shape of the ellipse to your satisfaction.

STEP 2

After converting to curve, double click the bottom left part of the circumference to add a node. Then add two more nodes while leaving the first node at the center of the two new nodes, thus, creating three nodes in total.

STEP 3

Now select the two upper first two nodes then right click and click To line

STEP 4

After that click and hold the node in the center and drag it leftwards

STEP 5

Left-click line between the nodes labelled 1 and 2 below right click it and tap To line

STEP 6

After that click node1 (i.e node labelled 1) then bend the line linking the 1 and 2 by adjusting those Pegs (The circled Arrows)

STEP 7

Now delete other nodes excluding node 1.

STEP 8

Select the shape and Duplicate it (To duplicate press CTRL + D). Then rotate the duplicate through 180 degrees.
Make another copy of the shape. This copy would be used later on.

STEP 9

Now select both shape 1 and 2 by holding the SHIFT key then weld them (Press the circled icon shown below)

STEP 10

Now add the duplicated shape and resize it to fit, right-click it then press CTRL + HOME KEY to bring it in front of the bigger shape

STEP 11

Now use the text tool to write Steemit , with font CALIBRI, resize it.

STEP 12

You can apply colours now. by selecting the shape and choosing your desired colour from the colour pallette

TIP

To change the shape outline colour, select the shape and right-click the colour you want in the colour palette
