Note: There are three layers to each Advent Calendar 'square'. |
|
LAYER 1 - SPECIAL EFFECT |
|
(This could include a clipart/graphic or sound/movie file) |
-
Insert a Christmas special effect for each box (see below).
-
Resize accordingly.
-
Place the special effect towards the top right hand side/middle of the date/number.
-
'Order' the special effect to the 'bottom'.
-
'Lock' the special effect into place.
-
Repeat the process for each special effect.
|

|
LAYER 2 - DATE/NUMBER |
-
Type in the date/number you wish to have on the front of each box.
-
Change the font style, colour, size, position as required.
-
Place the date/number to the far bottom left had side of the special effect.
-
Order' the date/number to the 'front' of each box.
-
'Lock' the date/number into place.
|
|
LAYER 3 - BOX |
-
In the Tool Menu, select rectangle.
-
Draw/stretch a rectangle/square of the size you wish.
-
Change the Object Properties so the box is 'filled' with your desired colour, not transparent.
-
Either 'Duplicate' or 'Infinite Clone' the original box the number of times you wish the Advent Calendar to represent, i.e. 25 days of Christmas or 31 days of December.
-
Drag each box to cover over a special effect. (If you have 'ordered' correctly, the special effect will be 'hidden' and the date/number will be revealed on 'top' of the box).

|
Note: Therefore the only movable object is the BOX so you can move to reveal each Christmas date and special effect. |
