Re: Stop & Post November 2009
Thanks Burpee and Gray. I really thought about this one. And the G had to express that you netter yourself through time, you start in the middle you progress up. And ofcourse like a handle progressing in time clockwise.
The C and C I wanted to incorperate in the G. one negative other positive.
Now I have to work on making them more colorfull and more 3 d ;)
And Gray, your clouds are really amazing, your planes too by the way. ;)
And I have seen plenty of cloudskapes here in paintings when I was younger
by old dutch painters, and yours can hold up to them.
Re: Stop & Post November 2009
Thanks all. I'm trying to work on improving my skies and landscapes.
ankhor, black and white tells you how good a logo is and this one is good.
Re: Stop & Post November 2009
Graham that's fantastic. I was thinking you were using a photograph for the clouds until I looked at your sidebar.
Re: Stop & Post November 2009

Re: Stop & Post November 2009
Thanks Gary, lupen for your kind words. I draw in vector and paint all the sky and landscapes I use in the plane illustrations now. :)

Re: Stop & Post November 2009
Hello folks,
This is a poster I created for my father using Xara Xtreme. I had it mounted for him in a custom made black metal frame and it looks really sweet. I'm new to the forum but have been experimenting with Xara for a little while. I never cease to be amazed by this program and I am still discovering all that it is capable of. I like it so much I have all but abandoned my other graphics programs.
Anyway, just wanted to say "hi" and express my excitement of becoming a part of your Xara community. I have already learned many new things in the few posts I have read here.
PS. Dad introduced me to Xara and is an avid Xtreme user also.

Re: Stop & Post November 2009
A hearty TG welcome to you, buckobeck. You've jumped right in and made a big splash with your first post. Bang-up job! I'd say that needs to be posted in the Xara Art Gallery proper and not just the 'Stop & Post' category.
You also need to persuade your dad to drop by TG and join in. The more the merrier.
Just out of curiosity, what size did you make the dragonfly poster?
I look forward to seeing more of your works,
Harry

Hello HayTay,
Would have answered sooner but I had to take the puppy out for a bathroom break. I created it in Xara at 40 x 22.04 inches which made it easy to capture all the small details of the dragonfly, I settled on 20 x 11.02 inches for the print.
I must admit that I was worried that a print wouldn't look as good as it did on the computer (this was my first with Xara), but I couldn't have been more wrong.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Mark
Re: Stop & Post November 2009
Your welcome for the welcome, Mark. Thanks for the poster info. I, just recently, printed my first poster from XXP at 22" W x 17" H. I must say, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Once I get it finished I've got to post a picture of the framed print for gray ('twas his suggestion), and everyone else, to check out. You'll eventually be able to see it in my URBAN D-K thread.
Xtreme Poster Print Fun,
Harry
