Draw with Vector-Based Package

Try and use a vector-based drawing package to draw a preliminary version of your design.

I’m a big fan of Corel Draw, started with version 3 a number of years ago and have now worked my way up to giving tutorials to people with version 7. Basically, you can create your new design using lines, boxes, circles, etc., and color in the individual shapes that make up the design as you wish. In this design, I created the outlines of the letters using gold rounded rectangles, and filled in the arrowheads and star with black.

You can then export this design to a GIF or JPEG file, and I find that the bigger the size of file you export to, the better it looks when you bring it into a paint package and resample (resize) it.
