How to make a post-it look crumpled up and then flattend out with wrinkles?
Hi Everybody,
I have a notion to make a series of "Post-It" like notes, one for each month. (I have Web-Designer 9 and even an older Xara X1)
I'm hanging up on the thought of making each of them look like the "Post-It" was crumpled up in a ball, and then flattened out again, with all of the expected wrinkles.
Is there a tutorial (somewhere in that massive library at Xara) that will get me started on this notion?
Many thanks

Why don't you do exactly that and scan it or photograph it; you won't have to fight against realism.
You can then use the result as a bitmap fill.

The most realistic way has been mentioned. And there are relatively inexpensive, high-quality images available from the typical suppliers.
If you do draw it, use a Named Color. Once your draw the various pieces, use the Shade of another color on those pieces. Then when you want a different color, you just change the one Named color...like this quickly drawn Post-It note...

Free textures http://www.cgtextures.com/textures.p...rowse&q=101501
I added a pale yellow square with Stained Glass transparency over the two best samples.

BTW, because Named Colors can be tied to conotones, the attached file can have the color changed rather easily.
Once opened, open the Color Editor. I switch to HSV to make it easy. Then, for the Fill Color dropdown, choose MainColor. Now just move the slider along the bottom to change color...
