nice one Cliff :D
but... never discuss the details .. it may come back to bite you ;)
hmmmm.... thanks handrawn! Gotta watch my big mouth... Even though my intentions in posting any of this stuff is always to help motivate other 'amature' graphics people like myself and what can be accomplished with an app like XARA with a little work and patience... yet... you make a strong point... thanks again!Quote:

Hi Cliff,
Excellent work !
Looks good on my iPhone and Chrome, but a small glitch on IE.

It doesn't like more than 1 brownie...;))
I think I've said this before on some of your other work. I'm envious of your ability to gel everything together. I can plainly see what and how you do these, but when I try to do similar work it looks...off.
You have a knack/talent/skill/insert-correct-phrase-here of putting all the right elements in all the right places with all the right effects. When I grow up I don't want to be a fireman, I want to be a cmpan1.
Love your work Cliff, seriously. :star
Thanks all for the kind words... but I really want to drive a point home. I'm not a schooled or trained graphics person... Anything I can accomplish is always through trial and error... mostly error....
To the pros, what I do is simple and obvious... nothing special... my main focus is always trying to 'space' things out. (I guess the ol' white space rule thing applies)
And the reason I said these things is truely for new and inexperienced users of Xara... I believe you won't / can not find a program that allows for such enormous flexibility.
Sometimes a non-computer non-coder non-professional artist or designer can get a bit put off when reading what some of the 'very' experienced users are doing... and have done...
I'm just saying... with XARA, you can at least 'appear' (to the outside world) that you know what you're doing and look good... as I always say, go slow, practice and learn one or two features
at a time... just what you need... and it will start to come together...
again... thanks to all....
and BTW, I can't count how many times the main players on this forum have bailed me out of a mess... (you/we know who you are) This forum is the absolute best place to hang out and learn from!
Cliff
