This also will be our steps to create the design.

Step 2 : Creating Worksheet

Okay, now that you know the steps and elements, we will begin.

First of all open your CorelDraw program. Now create a new file and set the paper size to A5 ( 14,8 x 21 cm ).

Step 3 : Creating Basic Frame

Now that we have our worksheet set, now we will begin to create the Flyer Frame, using “Rectangle Tool “.

This will be our Basic Frame for the Flyer.

Go to the “Rectangle Tool “, make a rectangle shape and then make the rectangle shape resized into the same size

as our worksheet which is A5 ( 14,8 x 21 cm )

Now that you have the Basic Frame for our Flyer, make it center page by selecting the Rectangle Shape, and press ” P “.

Colorize the Rectangle Shape into Black.

Step 4 : Creating The Sun Burst

Okay now we are going to make the Sun Burst,

First of all go to the “Polygon Tool” in the left toolbar, after you click it find the “Point or Sides” to determine how much corner

in the polygon shape, fill it with “3” in order to make it triangle.

After that, left click & drag from bottom to top, to create similar triangle as picture below.

Move the Rotating Point into the bottom of triangle.

Step 6 : Rotate, Copy & Duplicate

“Left + Right mouse ” and release it in order to copy.

Repeat the steps above, copy and duplicate again by Hold & Drag ” Left + Right mouse “.

Tips : The more you randomize the size and position of the duplicate triangle, the more vibrant will be.

Repeat it again until you have a full rotation.
