    Default Another one, not like the other one...

    Here's another quickie project I did to help a different Illustrator user. Well, it was really just a post about how I would have created their design to meet their objective of not only coloring the different parts of the tile they had designed, but also a means of simplifying how it was built.

    I do like using XDP to create samples regardless of what software it eventually is for. Porting them to the other software is easy, but I find XDP far easier to actually use. And heck, it was a pleasant tile design to remake.

    Agrred Mike and amazing how many different repeating tiles you can get out of a single design.

    Yep...I like 'em

    I also use named colors anymore.

    Makes color changes easily understood. To be fair, it's no different than other applications, and in some cases a tad more cumbersome/different to use named colors in XDP. But I wouldn't want to ever see them go away!

    I'm a lover of named colours. They are cumbersome to start with but now almost every drawing I create I develop named colours as I proceed with the drawing. If I forget I often kick myself for such a stupid shortcoming. I even create named colours called "delete" etc knowing they are going to be part of a group/s which temp helps with alignment etc. On finishing the drawing, I just go to the name gallery, select "delete" and well ... delete it, it's removed very simpily from the group/s
