|
System requirement (Slide) | To record this tutorial, I am using
|
Showing Blender brochure (Animation) | This is a sample 3 fold brochure. As we open it, we can see the 3 folds.
|
Showing Blender brochure (Animation) | The outer side contains sections 1, 5 and 6.
|
Open Inkscape | Let us learn how to create a brochure like this one. |
Open Inkscape>>Document properties | Open Inkscape.
Click on File and go to Document Properties. |
Change/click as per narration. | Let's do some basic setting first.
Change:
|
We have to divide the canvas into 3 folds. | |
Point to the width parameter | For that, observe that the width of the canvas is 297. |
Point to the canvas | So we have to divide 297 into 3 parts, which is 99 for each of the three sections.
|
Click and drag the ruler >> Point to the guideline | Click and drag a guideline from the left side onto the canvas. |
Double click on the guideline | Double click on this guideline.
A dialog box opens up. |
Change the value of X to 99. | Change the value of X to 99 and click on OK. |
Click and drag the ruler >> Point to the guideline | Click and drag another guideline from the left side onto the canvas. |
Double click on the guideline>> Change X value to 198 | Double-click on it to open the dialog box.
|
Point to the canvas | Now our canvas is divided into 3 equal sections.
<<PAUSE>> |
Point to the canvas | Let us save this file twice:
|
Go to File >> Save as >> Brochure-IN.svg | Go to File and click on Save as.
I will save the file on my Desktop with the name Brochure-IN.svg. |
Go to File >> Save as >> Brochure-OUT.svg | Once again go to File and click on Save as.
This time I will give the name Brochure-OUT.svg and click on Save. <<PAUSE>> |
Switch to Brochure-IN.svg. | So, now we have 2 files, one for the inner sections and one for the outer sections.
Let us switch to Brochure-IN.svg. |
Open the Layers panel | As we go about creating this brochure, it is desirable to use different layers for different elements.
|
Point to the canvas | Let us first design the inner sections of the brochure i.e. sections 2, 3 and 4. |

|
Place it in the middle. | Place the illustration in the middle of the canvas. |
Create a layer and name it "circle" >> Draw a circle of 45X45 pixels | Create a new layer and name it as you prefer.
|
Duplicate the circle >> change it to 43X 43 pixels | Duplicate the circle and change its size to 43X43 pixels. |
Keep it on the top of blue circle >> color it green | Place it on the top of the blue circle. Color it green. |
Repeat the same process and create 5 more circles | Likewise, create another 5 circles.

Repeat the same procedure | In a similar way, repeat the steps for the other 5 images. |
Show the canvas completed upto this point. | Now, your canvas should look like this. |
Draw an arrow using bezier tool on a new layer >> Color it gray | Next, select the bezier tool and draw an arrow on a new layer. Color it gray.
|
Filters menu >> Shadows and Glows >> Drop Shadow >> Apply | Go to Filters menu. Select Shadows and Glows and then click on Drop Shadow.
|
Duplicate and align them | Duplicate this arrow twice to create 2 more arrows.
|
Point to the graphic elements on the canvas | Now all the graphic elements are done.
<<PAUSE>> |
Type “Introduction to Inkscape” on a new layer. | On a new layer, type “Introduction to Inkscape” on the first arrow. |
Type “Features of Inkscape” | Type “Features of Inkscape” on the second arrow. |
Type “Usage of Inkscape” | Type “Usage of Inkscape” on the third arrow. |
Point to the canvas | Now we have to insert the text under each of these sections. |
Copy text from LibreOffice Writer and paste | I will copy and paste the texts from a LibreOffice Wrier file that I have saved already.

File >> Open >> Brochure-OUT.svg | Go to File. Click on Open, select Brochure-OUT.svg. |
Point to the canvas | Now we have to design the 1st, 4th and 5th sections. |
