CorelDRAW Exercise: Splatter Text Effect

This exercise guides you in creating a dynamic “splatter” effect on text.

Steps:

1. Create Text: Type your desired text.
2. Convert to Curves: Convert the text to curves.
3. Create Splatter Shapes: Draw irregular shapes (circles, blobs, etc.) to simulate paint splatters.
4. Weld Splatter Shapes: Weld multiple splatter shapes together for larger, more complex effects.
5. PowerClip:
   • Select the text and a splatter shape/group.
   • Right-click and choose “Place Inside Container.”
6. Position and Adjust:
   • Position splatters along the text’s contours.
   • Adjust splatter sizes, shapes, and colors for desired effect.
7. Duplicate and Vary:
   • Duplicate splatters and adjust their positions and sizes for a more organic look.
8. Transparency: Experiment with transparency settings for splatters to control their visibility.
    

Key Considerations:

• The variety of splatter shapes is key to a realistic effect.
• Experiment with different blending modes for unique color interactions.
• Use the Shape Tool to refine splatter shapes for a more natural look.

Result: A visually striking and dynamic “splatter” text effect that adds energy and creativity to your designs.
