REUSE THE EXISTING MAKE & MEND SPOOL

This optional example uses the spool already supplied in the fictional Make & Mend event pack. It adds no new logo or name. The original templates remain the starting point; all example event details and the https://example.org/ QR must be replaced before public use.

FILES
files/event-spool.svg: the original vector spool, extracted onto its own transparent page. Edit its shapes and colours in Inkscape; save a copy.
files/event-spool.png: 720 x 800 RGBA PNG with transparent background and intentional transparent margins.
files/flyer-shared-spool.svg and files/social-shared-spool.svg: the same PNG is embedded in both layouts in place of the original vector spool, at the original location and rotation. Other event text and the QR are unchanged.
files/flyer-shared-spool.pdf: A4 export, not a printer proof.
files/social-shared-spool.png: 1080 x 1080 export.

TRY IT
1. Open event-spool.svg in Inkscape. Save your own SVG copy before making changes.
2. Export the Page as PNG with background alpha zero. Check that no background rectangle has been added. The checkerboard is an editing aid, not part of the artwork.
3. Open your flyer copy, select/delete the old spool group, and use File > Import for your new PNG. Choose Embed if prompted. Keep proportions locked and size/position the artwork clear of the text and QR. Repeat with that same saved PNG in your square layout.
4. Keep both SVGs. Close and reopen them, then export the flyer PDF and square PNG. Inspect edges, contrast, dates, venue, warning and QR in the final output. Verify a real replacement QR destination and physical print before distribution.
5. Keep the separate spool SVG master. Imported PNG pixels are not vector shapes and cannot provide unlimited enlargement. Changing the master later does not update either layout automatically: export and replace the PNG in both again.

TEST LIMITS
Native Inkscape command-line save/reopen/export and structural/pixel checks are evidence for these supplied files, not full graphical or beginner acceptance. No browser downloads, phone scanning or physical printing was tested. No Illustrator/Canva feature or team-workflow parity is claimed. Fonts in the event layouts still need attention; the spool itself has no font dependency. See the original event-pack guide for font substitution and print requirements.

LICENCE
