Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Attachment 112838Using the any or all of these simple shapes alone, in combination, or, use the same shape as many times as you wish.
The size, color, and value may be changed well as rotating whatever you need to do to do.
You may not change the shape or use transparencies, but, you may use clipview on the final composition.
NOTE: I will not give impossible words that cannot be illustrated such as antidisestablishmentarianism.
Each week I will submit a different word.
Good luck. We'll see how this goes.
The word for this month is HEAVY

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Larry, are you aware all the shapes apart from the elipses are skewed. Is this deliberate?

no, they look cordid a rect to me. Skewed or not you did a great job.
@ Acorn that's really cool. Great job.

No, they look correct to me. Skewed or not you did a great job.

They are well skewed to me. Can't you see it in wire view?

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Sorry, Larry.
The shapes are definitely skewed.
So, I've straightened them up.
Hope you don't mind.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Rik and Egg, I looked a the wire frame on my master file, at the one downloaded at the top of this page and Riik's post and I do not see any skewhg at all eithe wire frame or not. Eggs attachment I see nothing but a blank page with what appears to be two pages stacked on top of each other.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Oh woe is me, woe is me. Since I can't see it could one of you fix it. please. Rik is the most likely one since he should be able to edit my post, hipefully.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
This ia very strange that you can't see the skewing Larry. Here is a screengrab showing the four corner co-ordinates. You can clearly see that x & y co-ordinates dont match on any corner :)

Thanks Acorn ... Admittedly, I could have spent a few more minutes on the cab, but I thought I'd got the point across.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Those are great. Thanks Keith, Bob, and, canova.
@ canova I love it.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word

It works well. I tried to get a dynamic effect with my chains, which you did more simply.

Attachment 112888Attachment 112889
THe theme was heavy, but nothing said the item had to be heavy, or be the heaviest thing, so I brainstormed off the word and Heavy Bag came up. I thought that would give me a nice angle of attack and so I set forth to create a heavy bag with those little shapes...after some tinkering, this is what I got. It was pretty challenging, I never realized how much I rely on transparencies with gradients so much! lol

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
for you Larry, anything is possible
on the assumption that ctrl+1/2/3/4 was not allowed, some masking was involved :D

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Looks great Handrawn, the linear fills gave me pause simply because what I had in mind and the description I gave were different. That said, well done. I like it. =D>

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
thanks Larry -I tried to be true to what I thoiught you had stipulated, but I was intent on having a go at the challenge of 'impossible' :)

Sorry but I just saw this. I know what you mean. Well done. Like the scribbles it is always fascinating to see the different solutions to a problem.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Very nice Watcher900. Thank you for joining in. It is so interesting to see which shapes different people use and how they are fit together.

Egg and Rik. I looked back on these and it is very strange. I cannot see any of the shapes on Egg's screen-grab, and in my master file they still do not look skewed wire-frame or not. Here is what I see in my screen-grab. If Rik fixed the problem we should use his xar.
I did these in XP&GD365 yet it always defaults to and opens with XP&GD11. No matter what I tried I cannot get it to open with 365.

Do these looked skewed to you? They do not to me.
-
Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Yes, sorry Larry but they do, you can even see the "error" on your screenshot. I think SKEWED is the wrong word, they are certainly not horizontal.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Thanks Keith. I wonder why I cannot see the problem on my monitor.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word
Agree with Keith. Attached is a zoomed in screen grab of your attachment above. Your rectangle is grey, the purple rectangle above is added by me. Can't you see the 'stagger' on the horizontal and vertical lines?
Keith, you're correct, it's more a rotate error than a skew.
