    Default Re: Jono's life sans Xara

    Thanks & cheers Jono, it was a fun project. Couple of things I forgot is that using a fractal or cloud fill creates a bitmap as does creating anything other than a floor shadow. I could get around creating a vector glow shadow but the textured fill in Xara isn't possible as far as I can see.

    Of course creating vectors, as in the case of the face, makes for very large file sizes so unless it's really required very large isn't worth the effort. Further to this, using a bitmap allows you to use dark/light contones which is great if you want to use named colours across the stamp.

    Thanks all. They were all enjoyable to make too. I never quite know what's going to come to mind each month so they are actually a surprise to me, which is great fun.

    Meanwhile...

    Seasons Greetings to one and all.

    Here's an idea I've been playing around with off and on for a few days. It was actually inspired by a small wooden sculpture I saw in a museum in Krakow (Poland) earlier in the year.

    It's called, "Keep holding on - with novelty reindeer antlers".

    That's fantastic Egg and very apt. Only yesterday I was left hanging in a looped message for 15 mins with no position countdown.
