Narration
Opening Slide Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Design a CD label” using Inkscape.
Learning Objectives (Slide) In this tutorial, we will learn to-
  • Create a CD label template
  • Design a CD label
  • Save the file as PNG
System requirement (Slide) To record this tutorial, I am using-
  • Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS
  • Inkscape version 0.48.4
Open Inkscape Let us open Inkscape.
Go to File >> Document properties Click on File and then on Document properties.
Change width & height to 425 and point to px in Units. Change the Width and Height parameters to 425 pixels.


Close the dialog box.

Draw a square >> width and height to 425 Create a square using the Rectangle tool. Color it red.
Click on selector tool. Now click on the selector tool.
On the Tool controls menu, change the Width and Height parameters to 425.
Draw a circle >> width and height to 425 Next, draw a circle using the Ellipse tool.
Click on selector tool. Once again, click on the selector tool.
On the Tool controls menu, change the Width and Height parameters to 425.
Select circle and square >> Align and Distribute. Select both the circle and the square.
Click on Object menu >> Align and Distribute Go to Object menu.

Click on Align and Distribute.

Align in centre Set the Relative to option to Page.


Align the objects in the centre.

Path menu >> Difference Go to Path menu. Select Difference.
Draw another circle Now draw another circle.
Click selector tool. Once again, click on the selector tool.
Change width and height to 85 >>

align in centre

Change the height and width parameters to 85.


Align it to the centre of the page using Align and Distribute.

Change the name of the current layer to CD template.

Lock CD template layer Lock the layer to avoid the movement of the elements in the layer, by mistake.


<<PAUSE>>

Create another layer >> CD design Now, let us create another layer and name it as CD design.
Choose below current layer option. Place it below the CD template layer.
Point to the canvas Now our CD template is ready.


We can use this for creating various CDs in the future.

File >> Save as Let us save our SVG file.
