This is an easy animation you can do with CorelDRAW®. This tutorial uses CorelDRAW 8 or 9 to create the frames and Adobe® ImageReady™ to animate them. For those who don't have ImageReady, you can use any other animation program to make the animated GIF.

This tutorial shows how to make a rainbow of colored gel buttons based on a single master button. Anyone with intermediate level skills should be able to follow this tutorial. There are similar tutorials on making gel buttons but all of them I have seen are pixel-based and use image editing programs to create the effect. This tutorial uses a drawing program. The advantage is that merely by changing the color values of the individual objects in the master button you can create a button of any color. With a pixel-based program you virtually have to make the button from scratch each time you want to change the color. You can only use programs that support vector objects, live (editable) bitmap effects and transparency for this kind of button. Adobe® Illustrator 9 fits the bill. I can't think of an easier way to create these buttons because, as you will experience for yourself, changing the color of the button is nothing more than a couple of clicks away.

The purpose of this section of the web site is to take apart a vector drawing so you can see how it is put together and able to understand it. In the illustration section is a table of equivalent terminology to better help you translate the terms from one application to another. This will clarify the subject and make it less confusing. You will not be bound to a single application once this becomes clear to you.
