That looks very good Rik, however, I'm not sure where the original shapes are ...

Believe it or not, Keith, I was originally going to post the wire-frame as well.
Then I wondered what response I would get?!

So, for you and others who may also be wondering! Here's the wire-frame and the solid shapes to show which ones I used.

I used various fills and transparencies. And, I'm sure you can also guess that I used 'ClipView' to finish the drawing.

I like that Rik and I did workout where the shapes were, eventually :D but I love that sky, that's one for my various sky fills folder.

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word 2

Thanks for posting the wireframe Rik. Excellent work. I wasn't criticizing by the way, just couldn't see the shapes.

Now just to play CHALLENGE police, as we did with the word challenge that you started ...

Larry's original challenge said "Using 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." however, that instruction did not make it to the XAR used for the challenge.

Would you care to comment Larry!

[QUOTE=ss-kalm;557012]"#FF0000"] or use transparencies[/COLOR][/B].

That's what I recalled having written. I didn't think transparencies were allowed, even though I very much like what Rik did, I was going to say that very thing but when I looked back I didn't happen to see that statement so thought I remembered wrong.

Takes a bit of the fun away, BUT, I'm happy to play along, Keith and Larry.

No transparency in this one.

Let me know if 'feathering' is allowed, or not?

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word 2

OK Rik and everyone I think we can allow feathering and fills.
My original intention was just to use the flat shapes and only change the color. However I do like the way you guys are pushing the envelope.
Kudos to you Rik.

A fun challenge, Larry. Here's a rather sad take on it - am sure they'll soon make up!

Re: Use these shapes to illustrate a word 2

Sorry mhjgkane I just say yours. Don't know how I missed it before. Sometimes they just don't show for me or so it seems. I like it, this gives me an idea for another word to be used another time.
