| Learning Objectives (Slide) | In this tutorial we will learn to
We will also learn the importance of using layers. |
| 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.
So there are 6 sections in all. |
| Showing Blender brochure (Animation) | The outer side contains sections 1, 5 and 6.
The inner side of the brochure contains sections 2, 3 and 4. |
| 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.
Close the Document Properties dialog box now. |
| 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.
Here change the value of X to 198. |
| Point to the canvas | Now our canvas is divided into 3 equal sections.
These guidelines tell us where each fold will start and end. <<PAUSE>> |
| Point to the canvas | Let us save this file twice:
|
| Go to File >> Save as >> Brochure-OUT.svg | Go to File and click on Save as.
I will save the file on my Desktop with the name Brochure-OUT.svg. |
| Go to File >> Save as >> Brochure-IN.svg | Once again go to File and click on Save as.
This time, I will give the name Brochure-IN.svg and click on Save. <<PAUSE>> |
