As-salamu Alaykum ( 'Peace be upon you')


I was eagerly awaiting for this lesson. I am learning graphic design from this course and I am loving it. I have learnt so many Details from this. No doubt @lhorgic teacher is doing so good. I am deeply grateful for this. In this lesson I will follow exactly what my course teacher did. I believe following your teacher can bring accurate knowledge. So, I am moving forward.

Step- I

First I login to my Canva app. Then I select a customize design. I did it manually and the dimensions of the design are 1024X 768 px. To customize the design I entered my desired dimensions and clicked Create a new design. Next I clicked on the color option. First there was showing regular hex code. Since I said in the beginning that today I will follow my teacher so I edited his hex code in my hex code box. This I learned from lesson 02. Lesson-2 has information details about color theory and color hex code.


Step- II

Then I click on gallery option from there. I saved some copyright free money or finance related pictures for background effect in my gallery. I selected a picture from there and added it to the design.


Step- III

I then drag the image to fit the dimensions of my design. Then go to Transparency option. There I set Transparency to 30.


Step- IV

Background work is done. Now I add the text. This seems to me quite important in a design. It is through text that a designer communicates with others and conveys key content themes.


Step- V


1000094898.jpg1000094899.jpg1000094901.jpg

After that I do my favorite thing which is choosing the typeface. I learned a lot about this in the last lesson. I am grateful to the teacher for that. Here I have also used typeface (Impact). and arranged the texts. I increased the front size.


Step- VI


1000094900.jpg1000094902.jpg1000094903.jpg

Then I clicked on Element option. From there I selected the square shape and added it to my design. Here I have moved my texts a bit to the right for a better look.


Step- VII

Here I have followed my teacher to resize the square shape and color it white and place it below EARN. Then changed the color of EARN. Here I used F2C744 color hex. I also added the text "on STEEMIT.COM".


Step- VIII


1000094910.jpg1000094915.jpg1000094917.jpg

Then I place the text below EARN. Add to my design by clicking on the Element option again and selecting a circle shape and adding &.


Step- IX


1000094918.jpg1000094919.jpg1000094922.jpg

Now I added the picture to the design and resized it. Select a shape from Element by following the previous process.


Step- X


1000094935.jpg1000094936.jpg1000094938.jpg

I have added to the design by selecting a circle shape from Element. Resized it. At the end of the resize, click on the position option and fix the position.


Step- XI

Finally I put the circle in the background of the pitcher by clicking backward. There is also a forward option to bring it back to the front. That was my learning today.


After making the above design I am interested in making another design which I have prepared to dedicate to my teacher.

Hope you like this design created for you. Hope you like it. Here I have applied my knowledge from this course. Here

  • I use a background picture with 30 transparency.
  • Use single typeface
  • Use shapes from Elements option
  • Applice knowledge of position
  • Use your provided remove.bg app to remove background from your picture.
  • Conscious about white space
  • Use word spacing
  • Of course use colour Hex.

I am a new student, have a question. After I completed this it seemed to be too big for me. If I want to reduce the length or resize this complete design, how can I do it? Or once designed, its dimensions are unchangeable? Please let me know.


I am inviting my friends @sohanurrahman @arjinarahman and @m-fdo to have a look on this lesson. I deem this will help you all.


Thanks everyone for reading my post
