Three flags



 

For this project, I created a digital illustration of the Swedish flag using Inkscape. I began by setting up a rectangular canvas with the traditional proportions of the flag. Next, I applied a deep blue background and added the characteristic yellow Nordic cross, ensuring that the vertical section of the cross is positioned slightly off-center toward the hoist side, as in the official design.

I used Inkscape’s vector tools to achieve clean lines and precise alignment, adjusting the shapes and colors to match the authentic appearance of the Swedish flag.

In this project, I created the flag of the European Union using Inkscape. I started by setting the document to the official 2:3 proportion and added a blue rectangle as the background. Then I designed a yellow five-pointed star and adjusted its size. Using this star as a base, I duplicated and arranged twelve stars in a circle with the help of guides and 30° rotations. Finally, I removed the guides, grouped all the elements, and saved the final design as both SVG and PNG.

To create the flag of England in Inkscape, I started by setting up a new document with a white background, which represents the base of the flag. Then I drew a rectangle that covered the entire canvas to ensure a uniform background.

Next, I created the red cross in the center, which is the main symbol of the flag of England (the Cross of Saint George). To do this, I used two rectangles: one vertical and one horizontal, both with the same red color and thickness. I adjusted their size and position so that they crossed exactly in the center of the canvas, keeping balanced proportions. Finally I set up the correct colors and I checked that all was correct.
