LESSON 8: DESIGN ACTIVITIES USING CORELDRAW

1. Lines

Lines can be made using the Free hand Tool (Fourth from the top in the tool bar). Just click where the line is desired and drag the mouse till the required length. 

The shape of the line (whether wavy or straight) will be according to the movement of the mouse. 

For an absolutely straight line, press Control and drag the mouse. A single click will end the line. 

For Zig Zag lines first single click, then move the mouse upwards and then double click. The double click starts a fresh line at the very same point and then moves the mouse downwards. Repeat the procedure for as long as the zig zags are required. Terminate the length with a single click.

2. Selection and manipulation of an object 

• Selection of object is a basic requirement in Corel. It can be done in 3 ways: 

o Firstly, using the Pick Tool, by simply selecting the object. 

o Secondly using the Marquee tool. For this select the pick tool and click and mark the area by dragging the mouse. All the objects in the area will get selected. 

o Thirdly using the Tab key. This is used when the objects are very small and clicking on the object is difficult. On using the Tab key each object on the screen gets selected one by one. 

• Once it is selected, you can manipulate an object as follows:

o Duplicating Objects: Just select the object and press Ctrl+D. That will create the exact copy of the object. 

o Changing Outline Thickness: Select the object. Then click on the Outline tool (Third last icon from the bottom). The Fly out give the various options of thickness like 2pt, 4pt, 8pt and so on.

The thinnest line is 2 pt and the thickest line is 35pts. You can also type the thickness figure on the property bar.

3. Working with Rectangles 

• Select the Rectangle tool, click and drag the mouse. The size of the rectangle will change as one drags the mouse. 

• To make a square select the Rectangle tool in the tool box and hold the Ctrl as you drag it.

Suremoneyng Investment Review: Legit or Scam

What is Suremoneyng Investment? Suremoneyng Investment is a funding network, can also be called a Ponzi Scheme because of its operation, However Suremoneyng investment platform promises investors 100% profit on their investment. The first investment gets this 100% after 5 days. What’s more is that Suremoneyng investment allows users to withdraw only the profit amount and then capital when you cycle out. However, there is something I want you to know that majority of the people don’t realize. Suremoney says you get 100% profit on your first investment, but I say no. This is because the system does not allow you to withdraw both your capital and profit at once, when  due until you reinvest. Now, your investment can be anything from N5,000 to N50,000. You are also not allowed to make re-commitments lower than what you invested before. That is, if you invest 10,000 at start, the least amount of re-commitment is 10,000. But you are free to increase your investment. HOW DOES SUREMONEYNG ...

Dreams And Goals

A dream  or vision chart is a picture you can create using newspaper or magazine clippings that represent your dream, such as quotes or pictures and paste them onto a board. In this post I show you how to create your very own dream or vision chart.   Dreams V’s Goals   Dreams differ from goals in that your Dreams are your big goals. For example retire at 40, travel the world.  These are your dreams. How you get there are your smaller goals. Obviously only you can decide what you want your Dreams to be, but here we look at how you can make them real. How you can make them real is by using a technique called visualisation. This is where you ‘see’ your Dreams through pictures and words – it’s about making your dreams ‘real’ by grouping together pictures of the things that represent your dreams to you. Let me demonstrate this for you. Say you want to buy a new car. Let’s say it’s a BMW. Suddenly, every car you see on the road is a BMW.   Funny thing is, yo...
