How could I make the text flow in the shaded area?
Secondly, there is a logo at the lower left hand. The logo is apparently a image file like jpg.
But the outside border is shaded and can cut the image to fit into it.
How can I make this?
For those who are above to answer such questions: You can simply keep silent.
Hi WW,
What you ask is very basic and elementary design stuff that can be done in Draw. It sounds like you are lacking knowledge in how Draw works thus just starting to play with it, cool, first you got to learn the tools and what they do. I don't have x5 installed on this machine but I suggest you visit some tutorials and look at the "hints" docker in Draw. It's just shapes, fills, text, imported image and drop shadow and outlines.
Use the ellipse tool and draw a circle, go to top of screen and arrange/convert to curves. Then grab the shape tool and start playing with it by changing the shape of the circle. while highlighted click on some color swatches on the right of your screen to fill it with color. Lots of folks learned this program just by playing, reading and asking specific questions here.
Import some clip art then ungroup them, pull the pieces apart and see how it was put together. Very cool program and lots of fun to learn it. That is how I started with Draw way back in version 5 (not x5).
Watch some of the videos here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90qwOy0vp7c
I am sure lots of folks here will help you along the way.
Hello wvw; Bob is right, you have to learn the program!!! There are a lot of videos on You Tube that will Help you. What you are wanting to do is a simple layout, you can also go to Foster's web site ( http://www.unleash.com ) and buy learning aids for X5. Learning Corel may not be the easiest to learn, but once you do learn how You will be able to draw all kinds of things. But if you don't want to put the time in to learn I'm sure you could hire someone here to do it for you.
Good Luck, George
tell me how to make the text fit into the shape
tell me how to make the logo image fit into the shape and have a shade
Bob and The Sign Guy are right. You just need to experiment with the tools and watch some tutorial videos to learn Corel Draw. Check out this video to see how to do the text.
