Step 19: Whew! We're almost done. Alright, now, copy and paste the official logo of Conquer Online-New Dynasty here. To copy the logo, do steps 7, 8, 9, and 12. Take note that every object you added in your canvas will be put in different layers. So, when you moved the object to any part of the canvas with the move tool, the selected layer is the only layer that are affected. Refer to figure 1 in step 20. By the way, use move tool  if you wish to move object/s. After copying and pasting the CO logo... Step 20: Let's try to add text ("co.99.com" if you're reading the criteria we need to add this text on our avatar design") with text tool.  Ok, once the text tool has been selected click to any part of the canvas where you want the text will appear. Before typing the word/s set the font style, and size that you like. To change the text tool settings, once it's selected the text tool options will appear below the menu bar. Refer to the following images below for your guide. Click images to enlarge.    Step 21: Hmmm few minutes from now we're done with our avatar. Figure 3 (above) is my final output. However, it's too big enough to be called an avatar. Take note that the dimensions that CO is asking for our avatars is either of the following sizes: 80*80, 100*100, 120*120, and 150*150. Now, I want to make my 405*450pixels to 150*150pixels. How to do that? Simple, at the menu bar, click Image menu, and select image size. An image size dialog box will appear once you selected it. At the pixels dimensions region, change the width, and height to 150 pixels (the unit of measurement must be pixels, otherwise you will not achieve your desired image size, is it clear?). Refer to the figure below.  If you're done changing the dimensions, click the OK button to make it final. However, you can still undo the image size if you wish to return to the original size. But never use the Image size option to make it big again. Otherwise, the image resolution will become distorted. Instead perform the undo operation (Ctrl + Alt + Z or goto Edit menu and click step backward). Viola! Here's my final avatar.... I love it! I'm gonna upload this to the CO contest page. Challege.... Make this more attractive by experimenting. Explore and learn! Have a nice day! For comments, reactions and questions, email me at jovanets@gmail.com Yours truly, JOVANIE O.
