Greetings erudite Steemians, it's my honour to be a participant in this engagement challenge. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🙏.
