Step 1 : Basic Elements

First of all you have to use CorelDraw with version 11+. In this tutorial I have used CorelDraw X5.

Okay lets get started. Let’s take a look at the basic elements used to create our design :

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.

(3)

Step 3 : Creating Perspective Effect

Now that we have our worksheet set, now we will begin to create the Perspective Effect.

(4)

After that select the font object, and press " Alt + A + B " to break the font spacing.

(5)

After that, select all the text and convert it into object by pressing " Ctrl + Q " it will be easier to modify.

Now select all the objects and go to the upper toolbar, there you will see the " Weld, Trim, Intersect " Tool.

(6)

Now we are going to make a line around the object using " Contour Tool",

(7)

Okay now we are going to apply the persepective effect into the object.

Go to the Top toolbar and find Effect > Add Perspective.

(8)

Step 4 : Creating the Extrude Effect

After the perspective is applied, we need to separate the outline from the object.

Go to the Top Toolbar, and find Arrange > Break Contour Group Apart.

(9)

Now select the Outline and go to the " Interactive Extrude Tool " its in the left toolbar.

(10)

Okay now we are going to put color in the text object.

Select the text object, go to the " Fountain Fill Tool " in the left toolbar, Choose Custom fill on the color blend and make the type Linear.

Now you will see a color box. You can change the color by left-clicking it, fill the color with Light Yellow on the left, middle and right side of the color box.

You can make a custom fill by double-clicking at the color box.

Fill the color with Gold on the middle left, and another Gold on the middle right.

Custom colors in the middle will make the color gradient softer.

(11)

(12)

Select the Front Extrude object, and go to the " Fountain Fill Tool ".

(13)

After that we are going to put color on the bottom Extrude Object,

Select the bottom Extrude Object and go to the " Fountain Fill Tool ".

(14)

(15)

Put a black color in it and press " Ctrl + PageDown " to send it to back.

Step 5 : Creating the Glowing Effect

To make it more realistic, we are going to put a Glowing Effect into the text object.

We have to apply it per letter, select the " e " on the text object, and copy it.

After that put a white color in it.

(16)

After that select the " e " , and go to the " Interactive Transparancy Tool " in the left toolbar.

(17)

(18)

After it applied into all the letters, we are going to add more glowing effects on it.

(19)

Now select the tiny circle, and go to the " Interactive Drop Shadow " tool in the left toolbar.

Hold and drag it on top of the Transpareny object.

(20)

(21)

Step 6 : Creating the Background

Okay now lets create the background for our 3D Object.

Create a box shape, using " Rectangle Tool " in the left toolbar.

(22)

(23)

(24)

After that go to the " Bezier Tool " its in the left toolbar, draw a shape by point & left click to create a custom shape on top of the background like in the picture below.

(25)

(26)

(28)

(29)

(30)

(31)

(32)

(33)

Now we are going to insert the Custom Shape into the Background using " PowerClip"

Left-click all the Custom Shape, and then go to the top toolbar and find Effect > Powerclip > Place Inside Container.

Then you will see a black arrow, Left-click it to background, and now you will see that the Custom Shape is inside the Background.

(34)

Step 8 : Adding More Background

Now lets create more background to make it more interesting.

(35)

(36)

(37)

Now select all the boxes, and go to the " Interactive Envelope Tool " in the left toolbar.

After that go to the upper toolbar, there you will see an envelope option.

Make the envelope type into Single Arc mode, Hold and drag the middle point to shape.

(38)

Okay now we are going to apply the persepective effect into the object,

Go to the Top toolbar and find Effect > Add Perspective.

There will be an perspective points on the corner, Drag the perspective point to make an angle.
