Making a basic Graphic design is really cool. However, some sites or software that's capable of making it requires you to have license ( You need to pay ). There are free though like Adobe Photoshop but it requires skills before you can edit. In this section, I'll teach you how to create a basic graphic designs using Microsoft Word. A free method which is easier to do. It doesn't matter if you have skills in
editing or not as long as you know how to use computer. 

Things Needed:

• Gather text at www.cooltext.com, a free website which offers generated logo & designs.

1.) Launch Microsoft Word.

2.) Go to www.cooltext.com and choose a logo style which satisfies you. Edit the logo you chose and if possible, try to match the colors on the designs you'll make.

• Configure the color you want.

3.) After configuring your logo, Scroll down and click "Create logo".

4.) Right click the logo and then click "Copy". 

NOTE: Do not download, just copy and paste it in Microsoft Word.

• The image you have copied has a transparent background, thus giving the design a professional looks. 
•  Paste it in Microsoft Word.

5.) You can make lots of logo designs, so do not hesitate to make more for better design. 

 

• In my case, I made 4 designs with different color.

6.) Right click each logo, click "Text wrapping" and then "In front of text" or "Behind text".

• Make sure to follow this step so that you can move your logo along in each side.

7.) Now it's time for you to create a basic graphic design. There are lots of ways, it depends on you on how you should do it. You can rotate the logo, re-size it, combine it with others or overlay it on a background image.

Or you can make a Shadow Type logo.

Or you can overlay it on an image.

• When you add image or logo, Do not forget to wrap it on text. Right click each logo, click "Text wrapping" and then "In front of text" or "Behind text".
