How To Create Background Design

0

I promised in my last post that the next post will be about stylish banners… well this can pass for that. It’s actually a background design but you can apply it however you want. I used CorelDraw X7 to create this design and it took me about 30 minutes. See steps below:

 

1. Create a shape similar to the one below, you will need about 3 shapes like this. background design with shadows 1

 

2. I’ve used different shades of 1 colour for the 3 shapes. Create a square or the shape you want your background to be, give it a fill colour too, probably the darkest tone of the colour you are using .

3. Now bring the shapes together, centralize them actually. and place it in the square… see image belowbackground design with shadows 3

 

4. You should have something like this.

5. Here I added shadows to the shapes, remember they are placed in the square so you’d need to edit the ‘container’ content. Do this for all the shapes.

6. This is the outcome of that

Bonus tip: I duplicated the shapes, placed on top and added transparency…
