| 00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Design a Visiting card using Inkscape. |
| 00:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn: |
| 00:08 | Settings for a visiting card |
| 00:10 | Designing a visiting card |
| 00:12 | Settings to print multiple copies of the visiting card |
| 00:16 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
|
| 00:26 | Let us open Inkscape. |
| 00:28 | Go to File. Click on Document properties. |
| 00:34 | Change the Default units to Inches and the default Orientation to Landscape. |
| 00:41 | Let us now start designing the visiting card. |
| 00:45 | So, draw a rectangle using the Rectangle tool. |
| 00:49 | Click on the Selector tool. |
| 00:51 | On the Tool controls bar, change the Width to 3.5 and Height to 2. |
| 01:00 | Move it to the top left corner of the canvas. |
| 01:05 | Change the color to dark green. |
| 01:08 | Let us design a pattern now. |
| 01:10 | Select the Bezier tool and draw a wavy line. |
| 01:14 | Go to Object menu. Open Fill and Stroke. |
| 01:19 | Change the stroke color to yellow. |
| 01:23 | Now, draw a straight line below the wavy line. |
| 01:26 | Select both the lines. Go to Extensions menu. |
| 01:30 | Click on Generate from path and then on Interpolate. |
| 01:35 | Check if the Exponent value is 0. |
| 01:38 | Change the Interpolation steps value to 30. |
| 01:42 | Click on Apply button and then on Close button. |
| 01:46 | Notice the Interpolation effect is now applied. |
| 01:50 | Let us give some glow effect to the Interpolate design. Select the design. |
| 01:55 | Go to Filters menu. Click on Shadows and Glows and then on Glow. |
| 02:02 | Observe the glow effect is applied to the design. |
| 02:06 | Let us import the Spoken Tutorial logo now. |
| 02:10 | I have saved it in my Documents folder. |
| 02:13 | The logo has been given to you in the Code files link. |
| 02:17 | Go to File and click on Import. |
| 02:23 | Resize the logo and keep it on the top left corner. |
| 02:27 | Let me copy the visiting card details from a LibreOffice Writer file that I had saved already. |
| 02:34 | This file has been given to you in the Codes files link. |
| 02:38 | Change the Font size to 12 and the text color to white. |
| 02:43 | Select the Spoken Tutorial word. |
| 02:45 | Change the font size to 16 and make it bold. |
| 02:50 | Now, our visiting card for Spoken Tutorial is ready. |
| 02:55 | Next, we will learn to create multiple copies of the visiting card. |
| 02:59 | We can do this by cloning method. |
| 03:03 | For doing that, we should first group all the elements. |
| 03:06 | Press Ctrl + A to select all the elements and Ctrl + G to group them. |
| 03:13 | Now, go to the Edit menu. |
| 03:15 | Click on Clone and then on Create Tiled Clones. |
| 03:20 | The Create Tiled Clones dialog box opens up. |
| 03:23 | Under the Symmetry tab, change the number of rows to 4 and columns to 3. |
| 03:30 | Now, click on Create button. |
| 03:33 | And then close the dialog box. |
| 03:35 | Notice that multiple copies of the visiting card appear in the canvas. |
| 03:40 | In this way, we can print multiple copies of the visiting card. |
| 03:44 | Turn your attention to the visiting card at the top left. |
| 03:48 | Click on it and move it from its position. |
| 03:50 | Now delete this card as it is an extra copy. |
| 03:54 | What if there are some changes to be incorporated? |
| 03:59 | Will we have to change each and every copy of the visiting card? |
| 04:02 | Not at all. We will have to make the correction only in the original visiting card. |
| 04:07 | The same will be reflected in the copies. |
| 04:10 | Let's try this. Double-click and change the color of the word Spoken Tutorial to brown on the original card. |
| 04:18 | Observe the changes are reflected in all the visiting card copies. |
| 04:24 | Now, let us save the file. |
| 04:26 | Press Ctrl + S to save the SVG file. I will choose Desktop as the location to save my file. |
| 04:35 | And I will type ST-visiting-card as the Filename and click on Save. |
| 04:43 | After this, we will save the file in PDF format. |
| 04:48 | Once again, go to File and click on Save As. |
| 04:53 | Change the extension to PDF and click on Save. |
| 04:57 | Change the resolution to 300 and click on OK. |
| 05:01 | Let us go to the Desktop. |
| 05:03 | Here is the file that we had saved. Let's open it. |
| 05:08 | Here are the visiting cards that we created. |
| 05:11 | Let us summarize. |
