<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Assuming you already have <b>Text </b>on your document, select it, then click on the <b>Arrow </b>on the <b>Bottom Right</b> side of the <b>Font Group</b>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are many things that you can change to customize your <b>Gradient</b>. Let's change the <b>Angle </b>of the <b>Rainbow Linear Gradient</b> from <b>90 Degrees</b> to <b>250 Degrees</b>. Notice the difference.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But what if you want to create your very own Text Effect? Not the same ones that everybody else is gonna have.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's a breakdown of each option below.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Outline</b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The <b>Outline Menu</b> gives options for <b>Colors</b>, having <b>No Outline</b>, <b>More Outline Colors</b>, <b>Outline Weight</b>, and <b>Outline Dashes</b>.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Colors</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Colors </b>are broken down into <b>Theme </b>and <b>Standard Colors</b>. Moving your cursor over any of these Colors allows you to see the effect in real time on the page. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So if we were to select the color <b>Red</b>, the <b>Text </b>would then have a <b>Red Outline</b>.</span><br />

<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">No Outline</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you select <b>No Outline</b>, well the <b>Text Outline</b> will be removed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">More Outline Colors</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>More Outline Colors</b> allows you to choose from two <b>Tabs</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've noticed that I use these Path Operations repeatedly in my work at <a href="http://www.flyertutor.com/" target="_blank">FlyerTutor</a>. Figured it was time for a quick and easy tutorial on how to use them to create new and interesting shapes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Path Operations are <b>Union</b>, <b>Difference</b>, <b>Intersection</b>, <b>Exclusion</b>, <b>Division</b>, and <b>Cut Path</b>. They can be used on 2 or more Paths/Shapes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Path Operations that I use most often are the top 3 Paths - Union, Difference and Intersection. For the purpose of this tutorial, I will demonstrate all 6 Operations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">Union</span></h2>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">As the name suggests, Union is a combination of 2 or more overlapping shapes into 1 shape. </span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Start off with the shapes that you would like to overlap.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inkscape makes it extremely easy to crop images so that you get to use only what you need. This Clipping process can be applied to any object.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the <a href="http://www.flyertutor.com/" target="_blank">FlyerTutor</a> website, I designed a Flyer Template for a <a href="http://www.flyertutor.com/templates/inkscape-fashion-show-flyer-template.asp" target="_blank">Fashion Show</a> with an image that I loved, however it was not in the order that I would have preferred for the flyer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I downloaded this Free Public Domain image from the <a href="http://flyertutor.blogspot.com/2012/07/copyright-free-vector-clip-art-anyone.html" target="_blank">Open Clip Art Library</a>. When I imported the Clip Art into the Inkscape program, I soon discovered that it could not be ungrouped. So now I'll show you the 7 easy steps it took to get 3 separate images from 1.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, there are 3 fashion models that need to be separated. so we'll need to create 2 Duplicates.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: purple; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step 1</span></div>

This will create 2 Duplicates directly behind the original image, even though you can't see them. You can leave them there for now or move each one out if you'd like.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Placing an Image within Text can be done very easily in Inkscape if you follow these simple steps below.</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Import your Image - go to <b>File > Import</b> which opens the <b>Import Window</b>. Select the Image and click on the <b>Open</b> button. You can choose between <b>Linking </b>or <b>Embedding </b>your Image, then click <b>OK</b> so that it is placed on the page.
Resize the Image where necessary.</span></li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Select the <b>Text Tool</b> and begin typing your Text. To see the special effect of placing an Image within Text, you'll need to first use a really big and bold Font, like Advert, Impact or Pleasantly Plump to name a few.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a previous blog post I discussed where you could <a href="http://flyertutor.blogspot.com/2012/07/free-eye-catching-fonts-where-can-i-get.html">download free fonts</a>. In this post I'll show you the steps needed to unzip and install them on the Windows Vista operating system.</span><br />

So I had to come up with another alternative. Luckily I was able to find an Open Source option called <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-Zip</a>. No registration or payment is required. You will need this program or one like it to unzip your font downloads. Remember Open Source applications are free. Find out more about them here: <a href="http://flyertutor.blogspot.com/2012/07/have-you-considered-open-source-lately.html">Have you considered Open Source lately?</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So you need to make a Flyer for your business, special event, or project and you have no idea where to start. Well first off, no one said you have to be a professional graphic designer to make a decent flyer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You already know the information that you wish to present. Now all you need to do is stick to certain basic design principles that will give you the confidence that you need to make your flyer stand out. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't tell you how many times I've seen flyers with serious design flaws. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basic Flyer Design should focus on a few key areas. I have outlined 10 for you. </span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name="1">1. Flyer Title</a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<ul>
</ul>
</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your Flyer's Title should always stand out from the rest of the information on your Flyer. You need people to be able to see in a split second, who or what you are talking about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Try using a <b>bolder</b> looking Font. I often use Fonts like Impact, Advert and Manchester for Titles, to name a few. The Title also gives the viewer a clue as to what the Flyer is about. </span><br />

<ul>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Use colors that will both appeal to the viewer, and will look good on screen and in print format. At the end of the day, your Flyer is going to be printed, so you must consider colors that look good on screen may not appear the same when you have an actual copy in your hand. These are things that you need to test for. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides the <b>Background Colors</b>, remember you also have to take into consideration your <b>Font Color</b> and <b>Image Color</b>. They all have to work well together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name="9">9. Perception</a></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will your Flyer catch someone's interest from 5 or 10 feet away? Zoom out of the flyer while you are creating it so that you can see what it would look like from a distance. What catches your eye? Should your image be made bigger? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a little trick that I use repeatedly during the design process. It really helps me to determine what works and what doesn't. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name="10">10. Errors</a></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Proofread your Flyer repeatedly (ok a couple times) to make sure that there's no words spelt incorrectly and or poor grammar, since these can be a turn off for the viewer.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you're done that, give it to someone else so that they too can glance over it for you, perhaps catching an error that you may have missed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So you want to make a flyer and you think you don't have the application necessary to create it. You need to have a closer look at Open Source Software. What is it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, without getting too technical, Open Source Software is software developed by an open community of developers in to be used by anyone free of charge. It is called the <a href="http://opensource.org/" target="_blank">Open Source Initiative</a>, developed in response to the cost of using commercial software. Of course it did not start off as a big thing, but now it would seem that Open Source has gained more acceptance from the general public. I will discuss a few Open Source applications, namely Inkscape, OpenOffice Draw, Gimp, and Scribus.</span><br />

The Inkscape program which is smaller and faster than its rivals, is capable of producing high value work. Many use it to create Vector Graphics like the images found in the Open Clip Art Library and Clker, which I explain in detail in my Blog post about <a href="http://flyertutor.blogspot.com/2012/07/copyright-free-vector-clip-art-anyone.html" target="_blank">Copyright Free Vector Clip Art</a>.</span><br />

You too can learn how to create a flyer with a few free <a href="http://www.flyertutor.com/inkscape-tutorials/inkscape-default.asp" target="_blank">Inkscape Tutorials</a> from the FlyerTutor website or download from dozens of <a href="http://www.flyertutor.com/templates-default.asp" target="_blank">Free Templates</a>. You should also download a copy of the Inkscape program <a href="http://inkscape.org/download/?lang=en" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apache OpenOffice Draw is a part of the Apache <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/" target="_blank">OpenOffice Suite</a> which also comes bundled with Apache OpenOffice Writer, Base, Calc, Impress, and Math. Apache OpenOffice Draw is the Open Source equivalent to Microsoft Publisher. You can create professional looking documents with this Open Source Application.

I use Gimp to edit (scale and retouch) the free clip art images that I use on the FlyerTutor website. I haven't used it much but it is an awesome program. It can be used to create graphics for websites, give images transparent backgrounds, create or edit artwork, etc. As is common with all the other Open Source applications, Gimp has a much faster load time than Adobe Photoshop because of its small size. This makes it extremely efficient and super fast. You can download Gimp <a href="http://www.gimp.org/downloads/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

It is great for newsletters, brochures, and newspaper style articles. I used this program a few years ago and found it to be a bit of a hassel. It has since been updated and I'm looking forward to seeing what's new especially since someone recently suggested it for flyer design. So look for a blog post on Scribus soon. You can download Scribus <a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Download" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of the many benefits to using Open Source Software:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Never stress about upgrading again - check for updates and download freely</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No serial numbers required</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Never use outdated software because of an expensive upgrade</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Never get hooked on trial software that you are unable to purchase later</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One thing you can do for the Open Source Community besides continue to use their valuable software, is to spread the word. Let your friends and family know what Open Source is and what it can do for them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those of you who would like to go a step further, DONATE. The websites for the applications that I have detailed each have a Donate button. To find out about the Open Clip Art Library and Clker, you can read my post on <a href="http://flyertutor.blogspot.com/2012/07/copyright-free-vector-clip-art-anyone.html" target="_blank">Open Source Free Clip Art</a>. </span></div>

I don't know how many times I've asked this question of someone, "Hey where'd you get that image?" and the response has been Google Images. Even I will admit to doing this when I was unaware that many of these images are copyrighted. What's a copyrighted image? Well it is basically an image that cannot be used without the consent of its creator for commercial projects.<br />
<br />
So since I could not draw to save my own life so to speak I had to come up with another solution to find really good Copyright Free Clip Art besides bugging my teenage daughter to draw them for me. A copyright free image is one that is free of any type of restriction. There are 2 Vector Clip Art websites that I frequently visit, the Open Clip Art Library and Clker.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.openclipart.org/" target="_blank">Open Clip Art Library</a> hosts 40,000+ open source free vector clip art images. What does that mean exactly? People submit their images for free from around the world so that those like myself can use them freely without fear of retribution. New images are uploaded to the site daily. You can download clip art in both SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and PNG (Portable Network Graphics) formats.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1P6JWpGAx2CuPU8zFKkKbFiLy9dUelXOfI0iDEAyhRtrfVPll0UlQFD71GSXLWp8JKMclykBdCNeVrySwyLGvAHqEFafRyO-269VZ-dESRpLtJAs_yhWo973d3fQPnT8Qcv5g6xW45wv/s1600/wedding.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1P6JWpGAx2CuPU8zFKkKbFiLy9dUelXOfI0iDEAyhRtrfVPll0UlQFD71GSXLWp8JKMclykBdCNeVrySwyLGvAHqEFafRyO-269VZ-dESRpLtJAs_yhWo973d3fQPnT8Qcv5g6xW45wv/s1600/wedding.png" /></a></div>
You can also search for specific images by entering your search terms in their search box. Some search terms can produce pages of results. So if I search for "weddings", I can find some beautiful images.<br />
<br />
The information next to each image tells the Image name, who designed it, the date it was submitted to the library, the number of page views it has received and how many people have added it to their favorites.<br />
<br />
Images are also organized in special collections like vehicles, and in themes like Halloween and Summer. No attribution is necessary for any downloaded content. So spread the work about this great resource. It's Free!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.clker.com/" target="_blank">Clker</a> also hosts thousands of Free Vector Clip Art images. However images submitted can also be edited on the fly by other members and saved as entirely new images. I've seen dozens of variations of just one image alone.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgqzGj22MuNTkF4y7SQpreDQ1KDsB09pQpPN83f7o4BHfju3cnMAzj4tJARdWCLqp1nDqPVIErAZzfxm_2xnEMYLS6vQGtYjrDPWqr_m1K7S3OUf5PhRtSYj-9Xnasyx43RgDTHGjzyina/s1600/flower.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="104" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgqzGj22MuNTkF4y7SQpreDQ1KDsB09pQpPN83f7o4BHfju3cnMAzj4tJARdWCLqp1nDqPVIErAZzfxm_2xnEMYLS6vQGtYjrDPWqr_m1K7S3OUf5PhRtSYj-9Xnasyx43RgDTHGjzyina/s320/flower.png" width="320" /></a>Here's a sample of what a typical "flower" search produces.<br />
<br />
Clker also allows you to Vectorize your images. What does this mean exactly? Well they have this special tool that allows you to upload photos and make them look clip art like so to speak. I've never used this feature as I don't particularly fancy this type of image, but you never know, you just might like it.<br />
<br />
What I've always liked about both sites is that in searching for a particular image, you receive a plethora of images in return, hassel free. As stated earlier, I use Vector Clip Art for my <a href="http://www.flyertutor.com/templates-default.asp" target="_blank">Free Flyer Templates</a> and Flyer Tutorials on my Graphic Design site <a href="http://www.flyertutor.com/" target="_blank">FlyerTutor</a>.<br />
<br />
So do you have a great resource for Copyright Free Vector Clip Art?<br />
