Learn how to display and embed SVG in HTML pages in part 1, using inline SVG or a separate SVG file, with proper namespaces, and resize without losing quality.
Discover how the SVG coordinate system differs from Cartesian coordinates, with x increasing to the right and y increasing downward, defining the visible image area and pixel-based coordinates.
Draw rectangles in SVG with the rect element, set width and height in pixels by default, position via x and y coordinates, and use trailing slash to indicate empty tag.
Learn how to draw ellipses in SVG using cx and cy (center coordinates), rx and ry radii, vary horizontal or vertical shape, and stack shapes with styling.
Learn to draw polylines in SVG by using the polyline element to connect multiple points, creating open or closed shapes with stroke and optional fill.
Learn to move the pen in an SVG path using the M command for absolute coordinates and its relative variant, with x and y positions referenced to the viewport.
Learn to draw with the SVG path element by using move to and line commands, with absolute and relative coordinates, and style the strokes to reveal connected lines and fills.
Create a mailbox icon in SVG using move to and line to commands to outline a box with an open flap, then assign a hex color and no fill.
Learn to draw quadratic bezier curves in SVG using the path element and the Q command with absolute or relative coordinates, and understand how the control point shapes the curve.
Learn to create text in SVG using the text element with start and end tags, and place it with x and y coordinates to set the bottom-left position.
Master rotating and styling text in SVG by applying the rotate transform directly to text elements, adjusting x, y, and anchor points, and using writing-mode and unicode-bidi for direction.
Embed external bitmap images inside SVG with the image element by setting x, y, width, height, and an optional link to integrate images with your SVG.
Use the switch element in SVG to display language-specific text or shapes by grouping content and detecting the browser's system language. Build language groups for English, French, and more.
Learn to create and nest fill patterns in SVG shapes by adjusting x, y, width, height, and spacing for rectangles and circles, including inner patterns inside outer patterns.
Learn to create fill patterns in svg shapes and transform them with the pattern transform property, rotating patterns to diamonds while adjusting spacing with pattern width, height, and units.
Clip shapes in svg using the clipPath element to flip a shape along a path, and apply the clip to multiple shapes by referencing an id in the clipPath definition.
Learn how to apply clip paths to open and closed shapes in SVG, including rectangles, circles, text, and groups, to create diamonds and other clipped visuals.
Are you a programmer who hates graphic design? But do you still want to create awesome 2D vector graphics for your web projects?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is way to go!
Forget mastering complicated graphic design software that have nothing to do with programming. You can now create every kind of vector graphics with just a few lines of code. No design skills needed, at all!
What more? These SVG codes are perfectly editable and can be easily embedded in your websites.
If you know the very basics of HTML and CSS, you're all set.
Spend a few hours learning a bunch of SVG syntaxes, and you'll be creating awesome graphics and designs in no time at all!
Every programmer can become a pro designer now!
What will you learn in our course?
1. How to create shapes, lines, text, polylines and so much more with SVG syntaxes.
2. How to create paths that can be used to design complicated structures, shapes, characters and scenes.
3. How to style every single SVG element you create professionally.
4. How to embed definitions, links, images and so much more in your SVG images.
5. How to create scalable vector icons and logos with SVG.
6. How to create 2D cartoon characters that can be used in web animations and games.
7. How to edit your SVG graphics in seconds by editing your SVG code
and so much more!
What are some real world applications of what you learn in this course?
By applying the concepts you learn in this course, you can code and design:
1. Graphics for your websites
2. 2D characters and scenes for web animations and web games
3. 2D graphs and pictorial reports that can be used in presentations
4. Bar charts, pie charts, etc.
5. Scalable vector icons and logos that can be displayed in websites, mobile browsers, ipads etc.
6. Flow charts, architectural designs etc.
Sky is the limit! You can apply what you learn here anywhere in the web space, in any sphere.
Your imagination is your only obstacle to how you apply what you learn here in your real world projects.
How is this course designed?
Our course has 6 modules, where each module will thoroughly explain the intricacies of one of the concepts in SVG with a wealth of over-the-shoulder examples.
Here are the modules:
Module 1 - SVG basics - This is the foundations module. You'll learn how to create SVG files, how to embed the codes/images in your HTML websites, how the SVG coordinate system works and every other thing you need to get started with creating SVG.
Module 2 - Creating various shapes with SVG - You'll learn how to create rectangles, circles, ellipses, lines, polylines and polygons with a wealth of examples in every single lessons. You'll be coding the shapes along with me in every single module so you understand the concepts better. You'll also learn how to style the shapes in multiple ways to get the best possible result.
Module 3 - SVG Paths and Groups - This module handles some very important concepts in SVG - Paths and Groups. You'll learn how to group multiple elements in SVG so they can be manipulated together. Also, you'll learn how to create very complicated graphics with the Path element.
Module 4 - Creating text with SVG - In this module, you'll learn how to literally draw text on your SVG images, design them, manipulate them and so much more.
Module 5 - Other SVG elements - SVG elements that don't really come under a particular category are included in this module. Some of the lessons include embedding bitmap images, creating links, definitions, symbols etc.
Module 6 - Styling your SVG elements - This is a very important module when you take the design aspect of the course into account. In this module, we'll go over the various design attributes and properties offered by SVG. You'll use these properties to create multiple designs for your shapes and elements, designs that'll give your graphics the professional touch they need.
We also cover a lot of examples and projects, like:
1. Mail Box icon project - We'll be creating this project in the 3rd module, after you learn how to create lines in paths.
2. Cartoon animal face project - This project comes in the 3rd module as well. You'll be using circles, ellipses, paths, arcs etc to create a cute 2D animal face.
3. Crown icon project - We'll be creating this icon in the 6th module. We'll be clipping the crown icon from a black rectangle. This is a fun project that'll help you learn the clipping concept covered in the 6th module.
Why should you choose our course?
1. We like to be thorough in our teaching. You'll find everything you need to start creating awesome 2D vector graphics with SVG code/syntaxes in this course. You won't have to look anywhere else.
2. We strongly advocate learning by doing, rather than just listening or reading. Our lectures are filled with a wealth of examples that explain every concept clearly.
3. If you follow along with our examples in our over-the-shoulder training, and code the graphics along with us, you'll be confident in embarking into the world of SVG and web graphic design/development by the time you finish our course. You'll be able to confidently add this as a skill in your resume.
4. We prefer creating fun projects to explain the concepts and to keep things interesting as well. You'll learn how to apply the concepts you learn in the course in these multiple projects and examples.
So, what are you waiting for? Enroll now and start creating awesome 2D vector graphics with SVG syntaxes in no time at all!
