Dia Creative Diagram

Lesson 7 / Lesson 9

Here's an example of a simple diagram you can use as a base to build on. It works well for dividing resposiblities or other roles that define a team. Dia has so many different shapes that you can use right out of the box that it makes it easy to add some creativity to your diagrams.

First lets setup the layers so that you have one balled background at the bottoma and another on top called Puzzle Pieces.

Insert an image using the toolbox image icon. Double click the boken image and select an image file location by clicking Browse.

I chosen to use this wooden texture as my background.

Next select Jigsaw from the shapes menu.

With jigsaw shapes selected lets create a few jigsaw pices. Click and drag them into place across the canvas.

Add text by clicking in the pieces and typing then add color by double clicking and setting the fill color.
