Advanced Tutorial

This tutorial builds on the new user's tutorial and adds a few frame controls as well.

Your rulers should be enabled (Window > Bars > Rulers) and Pixels selected as your Units. (CLICK HERE to return to Page 2 if you need help with setting the Units and Grid).

Enable Snap To Grid. Using the Rectangle Tool while holding down the Ctrl key, draw a 100 pixel square. Apply a black fill with no outline. Use the Ellipse Tool and hold down the Ctrl Key and draw an 85 pixel circle. You will need to change the size in the text entry window on the Infobar. Set the circle's fill to none and the outline to 2 points by selecting from the Line Width drop down list on the Inforbar.

Make five duplicates and change the colors and outline colors as shown. Switch to a sans serif font for the word POP! and make the size around 16 points.

Let me know when you're finished and we'll continue.

 

 

 

 

Finished? Well that certainly took long enough. I dozed off!
