HOW TO DRAW A BROKEN HEART IN MS WORD PART 2

MICROSOFT WORD DRAWING PROJECT No. 28 PART 2


TITLE:   HOW TO DRAW A BROKEN HEART IN MS WORD
TYPE:   GRAPHIC DESIGN
(A)  HOW TO DRAW THE PICTURE?
First, draw a portion of the heart shape. Then, duplicate it and flip it horizontally. Join the two portions and you’ll get a full heart shape. I once drew a cow head in Adobe Photoshop using the same principle. To create a full heart shape, cover the broken area with an Oval shape and then do the following:  Format > Shape Outline > No Outline. If you break someone’s heart, you make someone you love or someone who loves you feels very sad. Try not to do that, it’s bad.



(B)  HOW TO CREATE THE EFFECTS?


There are some new features in MS Word 2007 that I find useful for creating attractive visual effects to drawing objects. Adding effects can enhance the illustration.  In the Shadow Effects group, select the shadow styles of your choice to create the desired effects. I made use of Shadow Effects to create the emboss effects for the drawing objects in this project. This is what I meant by improvising.
         Here are the steps on how to create the visual effects for this illustration:
(a)    Format > Shape Fill > Red > Gradient > Dark Variations > Linear Right.
          Shadow Effects > Additional Shadow Styles > Shadow Style 18.
(b)    Format > Shape Fill > Red > Gradient > Dark Variations > Linear Right.
          Shadow Effects > Additional Shadow Styles > Shadow Style 18.
(c)    Format > Shape Fill > Light Blue > Gradient > Light Variations > Linear Up.

HOW TO DRAW A BROKEN HEART IN MS WORD PART 1

MICROSOFT WORD DRAWING PROJECT No. 28 PART 1
TITLE:   HOW TO DRAW A BROKEN HEART IN MS WORD

The heart shape is the symbol of love. But sometimes, the heart can also be broken. The saying, “You have broken my heart”, is just a figure of speech. In reality, a broken heart doesn’t literally crack or break into two as normally depicted in the media. On Valentine’s Day you’ll see a lot of graphic images with the heart shape as the theme.
       Here is an easier way to draw a heart shape in MS Word. All you have to do is to draw a portion of the heart shape with the Curve line tool. It doesn’t really matter whether it is the left side or the right side. After completing the drawing, produce a copy of the shape and then rotate it horizontally to create the other half. Adjust the broken portion with the Edit Points tool. Join these two portions together and you now have a heart that is ‘broken’. Experiment with the graphics effects available in the Format tab in MS Word 2007 to get the desired effects. I find it easier to break the heart this way. Try drawing this on your own first. I’ll show how the drawing is done in the next post.  By the way, blog readers are welcome to comment on the graphics posted on my blog so that I can make some improvement on its content.
