2. Designing a birthday certificate
Now you will edit your birthday certificate template adding personal data as text and images. Before you will start making a certificate, we recommend you to write down necessary data (as in our case on birth of a child). You will need to know the next data:
- Full name;
- Date and exact time of birth;
- Weight, height;
- Place of birth;
- Full names of parents.
This will help you to estimate how much of text and how many text blocks you will need in your certificate. As it is not an official document, you can add any information on the event you want.
To start editing birth certificate template you will need to change the Background of a template. To do so you will need to address to 'Properties' menu and choose 'Color' option. Choose a desired color for a birthday certificate background. Clicking the Ok button will apply a chosen color to the background of the birth certificate.
You can also edit the frame of the certificate with such tools as override pen and override brush which are available in the Recoloring section of the 'Properties' menu. This menu also allows you to apply various effects to the background and frame as opacity, gradient, shadows, etc. If you like the background of a birthday certificate template, you can leave it unchanged.
After the background and frame are set, you can get down to editing text. In this example we have used text and arc text.
These blocks are already preset in the birthday certificate template. To add an arc text to your birth certificate you will need to click 'Special text' and choose Arc text option in the 'Insert' tool panel. Enter a desired text and change its font, style, color and size. Set bulge and radius of the arc text object. You will see the changes immediately and will be able to estimate how the text looks like.
