As-salamu Alaykum ( 'Peace be upon you')

I was eagerly awaiting for this lesson. I am learning graphic design from this course and I am loving it. I have learnt so many Details from this. No doubt @lhorgic teacher is doing so good. I am deeply grateful for this. In this lesson I will follow exactly what my course teacher did. I believe following your teacher can bring accurate knowledge. So, I am moving forward.

Step- I

First I login to my Canva app. Then I select a customize design. I did it manually and the dimensions of the design are 1024X 768 px. To customize the design I entered my desired dimensions and clicked Create a new design. Next I clicked on the color option. First there was showing regular hex code. Since I said in the beginning that today I will follow my teacher so I edited his hex code in my hex code box. This I learned from lesson 02. Lesson-2 has information details about color theory and color hex code.

Step- II

Then I click on gallery option from there. I saved some copyright free money or finance related pictures for background effect in my gallery. I selected a picture from there and added it to the design.

Step- III

I then drag the image to fit the dimensions of my design. Then go to Transparency option. There I set Transparency to 30.

Step- IV

Background work is done. Now I add the text. This seems to me quite important in a design. It is through text that a designer communicates with others and conveys key content themes.

Step- V

After that I do my favorite thing which is choosing the typeface. I learned a lot about this in the last lesson. I am grateful to the teacher for that. Here I have also used typeface (Impact). and arranged the texts. I increased the front size.

Step- VI

Then I clicked on Element option. From there I selected the square shape and added it to my design. Here I have moved my texts a bit to the right for a better look.

Step- VII

Here I have followed my teacher to resize the square shape and color it white and place it below EARN. Then changed the color of EARN. Here I used F2C744 color hex. I also added the text "on STEEMIT.COM".

Step- VIII

Then I place the text below EARN. Add to my design by clicking on the Element option again and selecting a circle shape and adding &.

Step- IX

Now I added the picture to the design and resized it. Select a shape from Element by following the previous process.

Step- X

I have added to the design by selecting a circle shape from Element. Resized it. At the end of the resize, click on the position option and fix the position.

Step- XI

Finally I put the circle in the background of the pitcher by clicking backward. There is also a forward option to bring it back to the front. That was my learning today.

After making the above design I am interested in making another design which I have prepared to dedicate to my teacher.

Hope you like this design created for you. Hope you like it. Here I have applied my knowledge from this course. Here

I use a background picture with 30 transparency.
Use single typeface
Use shapes from Elements option
Applice knowledge of position
Use your provided remove.bg app to remove background from your picture.
Conscious about white space
Use word spacing
Of course use colour Hex.

I am a new student, have a question. After I completed this it seemed to be too big for me. If I want to reduce the length or resize this complete design, how can I do it? Or once designed, its dimensions are unchangeable? Please let me know.

I am inviting my friends @sohanurrahman @arjinarahman and @m-fdo to have a look on this lesson. I deem this will help you all.
