    I thought Bob that this vid might help with the masking problem that you had with the design. The video can be viewed from the Layers Mag here: http://layersmagazine.com/creative-m...lustrator.html

    Illustrator has some darn amazing features!

    The core usability doesn't agree with me though.

    Thanks for the offer of help, Peter. I am really not sure what is going on here. I have attached the file as a .pdf so you can open it in your version of Illy.
    I have also attached screenshots of what I did and what I got. As I mentioned earlier, I worked around the problem by importing into Xara and applying the clip there.
    Bob.

    Hi Bob,

    I moved things around a little and changed color. Is this sort of the effect you wanted? If so, make each group a compound path and recolor. With the S on top, then make the mask.

    Take care, Mike

    Sorry really busy day, may try again tonight! Between work spent about 1/2 hour but couldn't really use PDF as it has a clipping mask which stops me using it. Copied rectangle and left the shadow till last but did it the way you stated. Used the copy to put behind after clipping so I am not much help really tried to get the hairy line to go outside rectangle but without spending time could not. Now I have to see if file uploads! bum it exceeds the limit by 27 bytes!
