Creating and arranging pages in CorelDraw is one of the great features that enable a designer to create multiple pages side by side and help to design continually.

Here, we are going to create a simple eBook using CorelDraw for Kids that consists of four-page and contains a famous rhyme with some Illustration. So, Let’s Move to the central part:

Step-1:

Create a new document and rename it as “Twinkle Twinkle little star.” Set the document size in a letter with a landscape view. The primary Color mode will be CMYK with higher resolutions, e.g., 300 dpi.

Step-2:

Now look at the bottom, and you will see something on page 1. Create three more pages by clicking the page buttons and rename them as:

1. Cover Page
2. Page 1
3. Page 2
4. Last Page.

However, you can also arrange tabs by dragging next to next and also can insert a new page and other options by just right-clicking on this bar.

Let’s we are going to create the cover Page:

Let’s change the background as an evening sky so that we can draw the stars with a little glow. First, draw a rectangle and set it under the all group of layers and fill with Dessert blue color. Choose the fill option from object properties and select “fountain fill > Elliptical fountain fill. Set the node position into 50%.

Creating Cloud:

So, let’s create some clouds. Select the Ellipse tool and create some round shapes and nested them as like as below:

Now, Fill the circles with Ice blue Color.

Make a group of the ellipse shapes and create some copy of the cloud and spread them in the document.

Now Select the star tools from the polygon menu and create some stars. Make sure to drag them from guide options to layer option.

And this is what we are just creating. Now, it time to place the name of the eBook, Because it is the cover page of the E-book. Let’s create another rectangle and set it above all layers and fill with the “baby blue” color.

Select the pick tools and choose “Round Corner” and set corner radius into 1 for both upper and lower corners. Now select the transparency option and set the transparency to “soft light.” Select the background layer and newly created rectangle, and select the align center horizontal button from Align and distribution option. And this is the output.

Let’s Create the name of the E-Book. So, select the text tool or press the f8 button and write “Twinkle Twinkle.” Now select the text and modify the Character. Let’s choose ‘Forte’ font and Size 65 pt. Now set the color of the font into baby blue. Make sure to align the text object horizontally.

And this is the final output.
