That looks very nice Stygg in harmony with the figures
I hope that everyone took notice of Mike's secret tip when making the "Darkest Colour"! It was when he was describing in "Colouring London" when using the colour editor, using k in CMYK, to take it fully to the right, back a bit to the left, then fully up to the right. This is to stop Xara producing Rich Black when he just want 100% k if exporting to PDF if the file is to be printed way from your desktop. I do it all the time and I know why I do it but I can't understand why a wiggle of the key can give the programme an instruction like that.
Well written and illustrate tut. Mike made it easy for me for me to do. I tried it with flowing ribbons and it looked terrible with such a simple and elegant font so wont show.
Thanks for the kind words, Albacore.
As regards the 100% K slider movement. I, of course, read about it here or at XU shortly after first purchasing XDP6. I have not ever read a reason why this is what it takes. I have simply thought that it is because at its heart, XDP really is modeled around RGB.

A superb tutorial, Mike.
Hi Rik--thanks for joining in.
In many ways I like the burst of color that the double-decker adds. A couple questions.
With the double-decker, is the word England redundant? Even for me, someone who has never been able to visit England, the classic red double-decker is a unique identifier as to country.
What does the number 1 signify on the bottom ribbon?
Hi Mike.
You could ask the same question with this poster?!
And there's a few other recognisable identifiers in this poster.

But... Here's one, without - just for you!
Oh! The number 1 - that's simply because that was poster number 1.
thanks for this mike - the tip about CMYK black is a good one :)
Mike thanks just again for the tutorial, your working method generally looks both precise and delicate. And that font selection is simply great.
In this words play I lost the feathering in the animation which I am aware, also some positioning became a little bit challenging mostly at W, but who cares it is weekend :D

I like your poster Rik, actually I like both. I don't know if an image of a double decker bus is redundant or not. Yes it says London, but we have one here too and I did a painting of it. The one I ran across here happened to be in the museum of transportation. I kind of think there are some running somewhere in the states but for sure not many.
