Creating a Roughened Object
To start, import your image into CorelDRAW that you
want to roughen. We have imported clipart of a notebook
with a green background.
|
|
 |
| |
2)
|
Using your pick tool select your image. When we first
opened the image, the entire image was grouped,
but we just want to roughen the rings of the binder.
To ungroup the image, right click on your image
and click onto "ungroup all."
|
|
|
| |
3)
|
Next, select the portion of the image that you want
to roughen. We clicked on the first ring of the
binder, making all of the individual nodes appear.
|
|
|
| |

Now, take your mouse and select the roughen brush from
your side tool bar. It is located next to the Shape
tool, as shown in the picture, and looks like a
small rake. A small circle will appear with a line
in the center of it, as shown at the right.

Up
close you can see the what the Roughen Tool
looks like looking at the picture to the right. When
you roughen your objects you will need to make certain
the bottom tip (as seen in the picture) is touching
the outline of your graphic piece.The angle of the
line in the center is the angle that the roughened
edges will take. You can change this angle in the toolbar
at the top of your screen.

|

Now
click onto the edges you want to roughen up and let go.
You will see images similar to the one in the picture
depending on how you want your image to look. You can
also change the amount of spikes you want to do at a
time by going to your top tool bar and selecting the
amount of spikes you want. You can set the choice from
one to ten. |

Another
application where the roughen brush proved helpful
was a cat that we created to use for a scary halloween
nightlight. Enjoy and play with the tool - you may
be surprised of what you can create!
