Fireworks Tutorial: Draw a little mouse pattern stamp

When I was a child, I had the habit of collecting stamps, especially the annual zodiac stamps, which I would buy. It is still vivid to see the enthusiastic and positive scenes of the collection of stamps that have been kept for more than 10 20 years.

Today, I teach you to use fireworks MX to design our first year of the Rat Stamp, released in 1984, 18 years from today, you still remember it? In Figure one you can see the real stamps I've taken with my digital camera and the final effect of using fireworks MX imitation.

Fireworks are chosen because fireworks tools are simple and easy to find. Unlike other design software, to find a certain effect of the tool is more trouble, draw up more steps. For example, the realization of stamp punching effect, only need to modify a parameter to achieve, fast and convenient. When drawing directly with the white Arrow tool, select the node to adjust, with the mouse to move or press the keyboard, down, left, right button, can quickly reach the desired shape effect. Other things, such as modifying the words of stamps, fill the graphics color, can be adjusted in the property panel, unlike other software to find an option, open a panel to do, save a lot of tedious production steps.

I. Design of stamp background

First you need to design the background of the stamp before you can paint on the stamp paper.

1, a new fireworks MX file, the background is white, the size of 600*400. The interface is a little bit larger to facilitate our work in spacious areas.

2, in the toolbox to select a rectangular tool, in the work of the interface painted a 152*182 size of the rectangle, the position is 258*140, the fill color is black, do not add sideline.

3, in drawing a rectangle, the size is 144*174, the position is 261*143, the fill color chooses yellow (color code: #F5E459). Edge color is black, select the style of the sideline "spray gun"-> "Basic", click on the "Basic" menu, select "Stroke Options" to open the menu, tap the "Advanced" button, pop-up "Edit Stroke" dialog box, under "Options" to modify the "spacing" of 170%, and finally in the work interface we see the stamp background effect, As shown in Figure II.
