Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a Red Cross logo using CorelDraw. This design project is great for learning vector graphics and logo creation techniques while also understanding the principles of logo design.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Document

• Open CorelDraw and create a new document.
• Set the document size to your desired dimensions, typically 800x800 pixels for logo design.
• Choose a resolution of 300 DPI for high-quality output.

Step 2: Drawing the Background

• Select the Rectangle Tool from the toolbox.
• Draw a large rectangle covering the entire artboard.
• Fill the rectangle with a white color to serve as the background for the logo.

Step 3: Creating the Red Cross

• Use the Rectangle Tool to draw a vertical rectangle.
  • Set the width to one-fifth of your document width and the height to three-fifths of your document height.
  • Fill this rectangle with a red color.
• Duplicate the vertical rectangle by selecting it and pressing Ctrl + D.
• Rotate the duplicated rectangle by 90 degrees to create the horizontal part of the cross.
• Align both rectangles to ensure they intersect at the center.

Step 4: Grouping the Shapes

• Select both rectangles (the vertical and horizontal parts of the cross).
• Right-click and choose the “Group” option to combine them into a single shape.

Step 5: Adding Effects

• With the grouped shape selected, you can add effects such as shadows or outlines to enhance the logo appearance.
• Experiment with different effects from the “Effects” menu to see what works best for your design.

Step 6: Finalizing Your Logo

• Once you are satisfied with the design, ensure that the logo is centered on the background.
• Check for any adjustments needed in alignment or color.
• Save your work in CorelDraw format (.cdr) for future editing.
