CREATE A SEAL ON CORELDRAW

Today I will be teaching you guys just a short tutorial on how to draw or create a seal for your designs on labels or stickers etc.

Launch CorelDraw x3, start a new blank document and choose A6 document size landscape.

Draw a rectangle, make it five by one inch and make the rectangle roundness one hundred percent (locate the roundness settings at the top title bar) and type the character above or put any character of your choice, for the font use (Arizonia) as it was used in the sample.

Now let get down to our main seal itself

Go to the left toolbar and locate polygon tool or press the shortcut key on your keyboard (Y), we are going to insert the number of complex star for the polygon for it to give us the shape we wanted, locate at the top number of points and put (31), for the colour of the complex star I use just two colour (Light Yellow and white) now press your keyboard (Ctrl + F11) to launch the fountain fill settings Type: Linear, colour blend: custom not two colour, on the starting of the colour bar put the light yellow and were I circle in red from the image below, to put in more colours you have to double click and put white colour to it, move forward double click the colour bar again put light yellow and move forward again and put in white colour, continue like that.

Note: the last colour of the colour bar must end with light yellow

Now for the second complex star, duplicate the first one we created before, put red colour to it or like my own I use radial effect on it the From: Black and To: Red, instead you can use just Red for now

          Create a little circle and don’t put any colour to the circle but only a tick outline (1.5pt), white outline and duplicate it into two places, type in the character of your choice and fit in text to path (go to the top – text – fit text to path) and your mouse to fit the text were ever you want it to be.

The little stars that are in the circle are also created from the polygon tool; click it and drag holding down control key to achieve a perfect stars ,insert the number of point (edges of the stars) to be five (5); duplicate the stars into six places and arrange it.

Your final result should look like mine,
