One of my favorite tutorials from the good ole days. I loved the font that Gary created and always thought Xara could have used it as their logo and include the tutorial on each new version.

Indeed, a very clean font.
Really has a good neon effect to it. I always liked the look of neon signs. It would be nice to see Xara promote their vector drawing program a little more on this site. They may be sorry when it's gone.
This was another of Gary's neon tutorials, I loved doing it - thank you, Gary!
Thanks Penny, Egg, Larry, Graham, and Tim. Those were halcyon days for Xara creative. The creative energy we all had back then is sadly missing now.
Too bad huh.Quote:

But that's, to a large extent, because Xara more or less stopped developing existing and introducing new drawing features.
I agree.
However, even though the development seems to have stopped. Xara is still the most intuitive to use. I have both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, but always open Xara as my weapon of choice. Workflow is SO much easier.
Keith, the ONLY audience for creative works is through the Internet so that's why TGers focus on manifest websites and TG seems to be an artistic desert.Quote:

Many cite and link to fantastical sites; few seem to follow through and show how they and their XDA can do better for the website or its content. I have skills for the former and few for the latter.
Your XDA is a tool that has evolved but in some areas has stayed the same so people simply may have found more creative products for their talents.

Thanks for reminding me when I was still learning design. I'm currently working as a designer for wedding dresses in Indonesia and feel the step-by-step process is needed to become an expert in designing images.Quote:
