Greetings and welcome to my blog. Am glad to be a part of this week’s class. Here’s my homework.

I created my design using the steps taught my the teacher in class.

Homework design made on canva

Step 1
I logged into my Canva app and selected the dimension I wanted. I clicked on the color icon and typed in the hex code #13002B to get the colour I wanted.

Step 2
My background is set hence I clicked on uploads to select an image that has to do with money from my gallery to give an effect on the background.

Step 3
After adding the image to my background, I went to the transparency option and set it at 30.

Step 4
Having done this, I proceeded to add text (write blog, Earn) to my background by clicking on the text icon.

Step 5
I proceeded to use the impact font design and I applied the principal of hierarchy to reshape my text to taste.

Step 6
After arranging to text, I clicked on element and selected a square.

Step 7

I proceeded to change the colour of the square to white and resized it under the write up. I used Emphasison Earn by changing the colour to yellow and introduced another text which is “”STEEMIT.COM.””

Step 8

I changed the color of the text to black put the text into the white box and created another circle with the & shape in it. I clicked on my images to get one of the free images from the class to add to my design. I removed the background from the image using remove.bg.

Step 9

The image appeared on my design and I resized it. I clicked on elements and chose a circle shape which I would use for my design.

Step 10
I clicked on the circle shape, it came on my design and I used the position icon to put it where I intended on the design.

Step 11
I selected the backward option and resized the circle at the back of the image to give it a final touch.

The Final Result.

From the previous classes, I engaged some principles to make this homework a reality such as the principle of hierarchy in positioning my “write, blog and earn” to give it the look it had.

I also made use of emphasis on Earn where I changed the colour from white to yellow to
Make it stand out at a glance.

The class was very interesting and am glad I took part in it. I ask at @ruthjoe, @ninapenda and @jovita30 to participate in this challenge.
