So far this course has really gone well thanks to the lecturer, Mr @lhorgic. With this, I find graphic design which I thought difficult to be an easy going course. Without further ado, let's get into the details. From the announcement post, the lecturer asked us to create a replica of his already made design. Because of this, I created it with the following steps. ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-22-53-35-160_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSa45BpSqFczWpzRjAEwKzUjW5LgAoLkwSvn4jHacJjT4/Screenshot_2024-10-11-22-53-35-160_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-22-58-35-241_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ6LCdHQk4oXqTQqLqBzXDdh6UuQiLoZyxdzmnPAwpZR7/Screenshot_2024-10-11-22-58-35-241_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-04-08-080_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWLB2eY4bhYjAGd7aQ78JbghF6WbefmaEWRQu41nbm37j/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-04-08-080_com.android.chrome.jpg) ---- | ----- | ------ Picture 1 | Picture 2 | Picture 3

Preparing my workspace

| |- - First thing first, I launched the canva application using my web browser (chrome). - Then I prepared my workspace where I selected an Instagram post (square). The estimated measurement for this workspace is 1080 x 1080 px. - The workspace is set and ready for work. ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-04-22-933_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVKRKtk13R6XMuGHBGtenP4ASDJz7EnxYdLpoTea8P8kR/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-04-22-933_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-05-29-907_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaXTBZd6WgzDZo3mgywHG5JXNFm6pG3owRxUvvVX6Xi5P/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-05-29-907_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-06-11-720_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbYkRz2SP4kRwVg8sdAfbFvb9KiEuWZeFzkK7HMoZkKRf/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-06-11-720_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-08-47-338_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRggRHXku1KiHZc8YQK8umkGZS7B4UNxYoAj48S4217jx/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-08-47-338_com.android.chrome.jpg) ---- | ----- | ------ | ------- Picture 1 | Picture 2 | Picture 3 | Picture 4

Creating the Background

| |- We can see a faint image on the background of the design. To achieve this, here are the steps - I had imported the picture from my gallery since I downloaded it from the announcement post. - Importing it, I had to make sure that it's the right position and size - To create a shadowy image, I highlight the image to display a menu. On the menu, I adjusted the transparency to 15%. I had to use my username as a watermark. ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-09-20-189_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVL8LTFVS2Ygj2seyeZHAh4YS7WgxfPeFYn6rCALTU8G7/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-09-20-189_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-11-58-269_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT3C9MeGdGeLsgbiWGvUHaXNNmi8NtgtfvhoBQ6zfRiHh/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-11-58-269_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-17-40-824_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPvsiGZt2whPdzGWxQKsPZTkXFKqbkgVWkX6iZq52G9JD/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-17-40-824_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-22-39-843_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXLd6AoN8rNwkMkNKwq1ZZZcEKjkUiMDVSGvP6Njw59Be/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-22-39-843_com.android.chrome.jpg) ---- | ----- | ------ | ------- Picture 1 | Picture 2 | Picture 3 | Picture 4

Introducing the Texts

| |- - Selecting the title, I typed **CHAM** - Using the knowledge from hex code lecture, I select the colour red and bolden the word. - The word **PION** was also typed and I selected the proposed colour. - My derived quote was also typed and properly placed. ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-33-16-228_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTsSmDyGoYJaFeLajjzDAHHM4XuVfJteM3ryvfGg5hjc8/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-33-16-228_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-35-25-567_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNpvomp3ZCPoJfehMVoCNrYzr6MntE8iLQ3C6gRCymZH2/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-35-25-567_com.android.chrome.jpg) | ![Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-45-32-504_com.android.chrome.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSvXPhVgJxJ6R6yxT67uipMKaTcfPFLAyH36j7CeH8nVG/Screenshot_2024-10-11-23-45-32-504_com.android.chrome.jpg) ---- | ----- | ------ Picture 1 | Picture 2 | Picture 3

The Picture Masterpiece Editing

| |- - As usual, I imported the picture from my gallery to the workspace. - To bring the image to front, I clicked on the menu and click on position. I initiated "To Back" and the magic was done. - I input the word "@whizzbro4eva | graphic design student" and edit it for the final result. My final result | ![@whizzbro4eva.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNrXHdUaMWScXGrAwxPSXYaiDtzaT41mKSzs6fdKou8MY/@whizzbro4eva.jpg) ---- | ----- Honestly, I didn't expect that I could do this design. Lectures like hex codes, complementary colours, etc has helped in the process of this design. Since it's my first time of trying out graphic design, please I am open to corrections 🙏.
