CorelDRAW Logo Design - Compass Rose
Hi I'm George Pearson and this is
training for CorelDraw these are just a
few examples from some of my video
tutorials. Let's just get this stuff out
of the way here. Now when you're working
along with my project you can download
the actual project file, you'll find a
link right there inside of the
description. Go ahead take a look at
the description and you'll find a link
in there to download this file, and of
course make sure that you Like the video,
Share the video with your friends, and
also Subscribe. Okay let's go ahead now and
get on to the video tutorial. In this
CorelDRAW video we'll be making
this logo design compass rose here. If I just back
out a little bit you can see this thing
there we go so be doing this compass
rose it's pretty straightforward but it
does touch upon a few interesting
techniques doing a bevel technique in
here and a few of these shapes doing
some shape stuff and of course a little
bit of drop shadows as well ok let's go
ahead and start off with a brand new
file I'll just click the plus right
there which gives us a new file besides
I have this set at is 11 by 8 and a half
and it's in landscape mode and 300 dots
per inch she was ok there we go I'm just
gonna zoom in just touch their air and
let's start off with creating a star
this is the basic part of our whole
thing for our star I'm just going to
give this an orange color to begin with
but we'll change the color once we have
this thing on the page now on the star
your basic settings are 4 points because
doing it for point star so it's 4 points
and then for our settings up here you
want to have 71 for the sharpness now if
I pull that out that gives us this kind
of a star like that
now the sharpness setting here this
controls
that angle right there between the
points that's what that sharpness
setting does so let's put that back to
up to 71 again there we are okay there's
the basic star you know I picked all
them with around a little bit now we
have this in position we can resize this
decides that I want for this and I have
mine sized at one point 95 inches so
let's go up here I'll just make both of
these say one point 95 like that and
that enter key has undo that'll lock
ratio there's I can make sure these stay
the same
there we go look it's exactly the same
width as the height and there's at one
point 95 and zoom in to touch okay
there's the basic star shape that's kind
of the basic of the whole thing the
first thing we're going to be doing now
on this we need to change our coloration
on this and then we'd be putting in that
bevel on this as well so right down here
at the bottom of the window just double
click on that little icon here and it
brings up the Edit fill options so now
over here on the hex side we can
actually change this number the one I
used was FF c64 one and she's it's just
a little kind of a medium orange color
that's all that is okay now I want to
put in that kind of a bevel effect on
this you'll find the bevel listed up
here under e fix and bevel right there
now what this does is it brings up the
bevel docker z little check mark means
oh that's already up so I have my run
over here I'll just click on that and
there's the bevel docker right hand side
now in here we can set up our distance
and our light controls so for the
distance on this one we're going to be
changing this one to 0.3
on the intensity I have - at 97 on the
direction 24 and altitude 53 inches
apply and there we go that gives us at
my settle setting in here so the
altitude if I change that around a bit
you can see how this increases or
decreases the brightness of that so I'm
going to have my set of 53 there we go
the direction changes the direction of
the light so you can choose which
direction you want respect kind of
rotating rod on your direction you know
I have mine set for 24 there we go and
the intensity here controls these you
can see they're kind of the app manually
the quality of that so you can have kind
of a soft lighting or a real intense
lighting it mines pretty close to the
top here at 97 and you know finally the
distance up here if I pull this down a
bit
and just continue on down real real low
there we go so you see that that gives
you the distance here up the bill how
far the Belleville goes suppose to fit
on this shape 31 works out very nicely
that's what that does
okay so that's the bevel I'm also using
these soft edge there's two options here
soft edge and emboss from using the soft
edge on this I can only have this done I
want to place this on to the center of
the page so let's click on the object
and then object align and distribute
center page there we are so everything
else to be based upon that position of
the center of the page okay now I want
to have another one in here so let's go
over here to our star again I'll draw
another star just like that's going to
come in you know very very similar let's
change the coloration of this now the
color that we chose over here is now
down here in our little color set let's
go ahead and choose right there that
just matches that color for us okay
let's now set the size on this second
star and all of our settings so on this
one I want to have the settings at four
point and the sharpness at 87 which is
going to be giving us a thinner edge
here there you go 87 and it's change our
size to 1.75 now let's type that in up
here and here we go 1.75 and I want to
rotate this around by 45 degrees there
we go and then we'll apply a bevel to
this as well our bevel doctor is still
up to squad and take a look at our
settings now on this one I'll be
changing the bevel distance to 26
there we go everything else is staying
the same on that
let's now Center this one object and
align and distribute Center page puts it
right on top and now right-click and
we're going to move this order back up
page it just puts it in behind like that
there we go okay so that's our two lines
in here let's double check this I found
that I could do this twice reasons I
don't really know why but come up here
and make sure that your settings are the
same this one we can notice go ahead and
lock the ratio and let's set this back
to the 1.75 there we are okay so that's
what we're looking for we have these two
in here now if you want you can get rid
of the edge at the outline on this
that's right up here I'll set that to
none click on our back one in here set
that one to none as well okay now we
want to bring our first circle onto this
so go over here to the circle ellipse
tool and we'd be drawing from the center
and if you hold down the ctrl and the
shift key it draws right from the middle
I'm going to start off first with making
this thing just a black circle hold the
ctrl shift key and play and see how it's
just you know drawing from the center
like that it's really easy to do that
okay just get rid of that one now the
coloration I want on this I want to have
no fill so click on the no option right
there and I want to have it white for
the outline so right click on point that
gives us no fill and then white and then
set the size up here to four points and
come right over the center doesn't need
to be example to justice in just a
second hold the ctrl shift key down and
pull us out until it's about out here
somewhere
it looked like that now there's a whole
white circle we're only seeing it where
it's overlapping now the size you want
on this is a 1.5 so just go ahead and
adjust the size up there's that this
size is 1.5 now to put a bevel on this I
need to convert this outline over into a
shape so go up here to object and come
down convert outline to object and there
we go
now I have that done I can apply a bevel
on to this so I'll see the whole circle
as soon as you do the bevel so for the
bevel billa distance 26 that's fine 97
for our intents now on the direction
i've changed the direction here do this
one at 95 everything else the same
interests apply and there we go there is
that circle so far so good now let's
make sure this is centered so object on
line and distribute center of page
there we go that's now nicely lined up
with everything else
okay last little bit on this we'll do
our drops out of here and then we'll do
a drop shadow on that back star as well
so let's go over to the object
properties actually object manager there
air there's the curve make sure you
click on just the curves that your the
bevel is not selected it's just on curve
and go over here click on drop shadow
tool and come in the middle and just
pull out just a little bit like that I
just guess things started now that we
have this done we can adjust our
settings so set the feathering up here
to to leave the transparency at 50 and
then on the offset click the top one up
three notches its point zero three and
the bottom one here down to so it's over
and down and there we go there is that
drop shadow okay back to our pick tool
let's go to the star in behind that's
this one open that up make sure the
bevel is not selected if you see the
build like that just click on the star
so
just the star selected and not the bevel
and we do the same thing on this for
that drop shadow setup drop shadow right
in the middle pull out a little bit that
just gets it started for us we can now
adjust our settings so - and then up
three and down - and that matches that
drop shadow so there we go up there is
the drop shadows okay next thing we have
is one more little circle in the middle
in here let's go ahead and do that
little circle back over here to the
circle same trick as we did on this one
we want to left-click on no color so
there's no fill right click on white and
they're gonna be setting this to two
points there we go
come into the middle hold down the ctrl
and shift keys and pull out and I want
to have this was set at point zero eight
so pull it out a little bit like that
and then just adjust this to 0.8 and it
makes that exact right size and again
same thing as before we'll go up here to
object convert outline to object and
then we're going to apply our bevel it's
over here to the Dockers
there's the bevel these settings are the
same as for the other circles so just
click apply there it is there's no drop
shot on this one so leave that one all
alone I want to move this back though
and to move things forward and back you
can use the control key and the page up
and page down keys on the keyboard so
I'll use the control key and page down
key and just tap that a couple of times
and that moves it in behind okay that
part of this is finished we now just
need our big circle on the outside of
this and then the lettering and we're
all ready to go okay so over here to the
circle I'm just going to grab just a
blue for this there we go myself cyan
and come over to the center control
shift key pull this out a bit like that
let's get our size set this is at 3.5
in Turkey and that matches because those
are lock ratio right there so 3.5 I now
want to put our gradient on this I'll go
to the object properties and go to fill
up here and then click on fountain fill
there we are let's change the rotation
let's come down here this little there
you hear the rotation set the set
negative 90 that puts the light at the
bottom of the dark at the top
let's now adjust our coloration in here
I'm gonna go over here to the dark blue
hit that and let's just pull this down a
little ways make the top a little bit
darker about 1/3 of the way down on that
one and go over it says white click on
the white one there's our white color
pull the slider up into the blue range
and then come up just a little bit of
blue stay along the topper so it's a
bright blue so you have a light blue to
dark blue sir we're looking for alike
come on medium blue it's a light blue to
medium blue okay last thing I want to do
so I put this is the back of the page so
it's right click here we go right click
and order send it back up page it's just
in behind there we go okay let's zoom in
on this and that's now put in our
lettering and if our littering go to the
type tool click on white so we have
white text change the size here to 24
and then change the type to Times New
Roman if it's not up in here if you
haven't used it recently its way at the
bottom of the list way down there
someplace there you go Times New Roman
just click up here the top was a capital
N and it's in white so I can see that
nice and easily
this too might get duplicate of this now
duplicate is holding the control key
down hitting the D key
and discover to the object manager so
here's our two letters now the top one
is the white click on the bottom one and
it's changes to black right there and
then hit the right arrow 1 + down arrow
1 and now while we're on this one is
change our transparencies click on
transparency button right over here left
hand side transparency tool click on the
uniform transparency and it should
default to a setting of 50 that's fine
okay go back to the pick tool and put
this up just a little bit I'm going to
go in to drag a selection like that
around from the outside so it's easy to
do around those right click and group
objects that gives me a group that makes
it easier to work over here in the
object manager get to the right hand
side this is our east side so same thing
grab the text tool everything should be
the same up here now click capital e
there we go
ctrl D which duplicates it click on the
bottom of those two text lines make that
black one tap over one tap down
transparency tool uniform at 50 back to
the pick tool and there we go grab those
together right click and group objects
and then I use the arrow keys and let's
kind of tap this over into position you
know about right in there somewhere okay
left side is West so grab the type tool
same thing just one click shift W and
then ctrl D makes a duplicate click on
the bottom of those two text lines so
I'm grouping these that's because it's
easy to see the two text lines so I have
a lot of text lines in here but if I
group those when I'm done with them then
I have just these two easy to spot text
lines that's why I'm doing that ok black
for that tap over tap down on the arrow
keys back to the transparency
a uniform feel it should say 50 back to
the pick tool looks good selection
around those two right click group
objects and then just use the arrow keys
and let's tap that over into position
there we go
gonna be a little further over just kind
of visually getting that position and
then finally that bottom one to finish
off the whole project and that's the
type tool capital S and ctrl D
duplicates it click on the bottom of
those two text lines black one tap over
one tap down on the arrow keys back to
transparency uniform fill should say 50
and pick tool there we go
and this just don't marquee around those
right click group objects and then arrow
keys to move that into position and
there we go there's a nice cup of
Strozier you can see here those little
lines that's just kind of a screen thing
don't worry about that that goes away
there it go
and there it is so that's how to make a
compass rose it's kind of fancy little
map symbol here inside of coral draw in
this case the version x8 and let's just
go ahead and fit that on our page there
we go okay so that that's it that's the
creating a compass rose okay before I
