  3. Re: Xara Designer Pro+ questions about desktop publishing and note taking features

    @Acorn Obsidian sounds interesting. Before downloading and trying it, are there any examples of where it's being used, you can point me to? I don't have a specific need right now, but there might be...

    Thanks for sharing this image. Very ingenious. It looks like she's used the same design idea with great effect using other word combinations as well.

    @Ernie, Nice graphics.

    Yes it was done in Affinity Designer on a Mac. I switched over a few years ago, but my heart still belongs to Xara. I think it's a first love sort of thing! There are still...

    Re: L&L Scribble February 2024

    I guess this one depends if you're familiar with the rock band Muse's album cover from 2001. I saw them at Wembley once - great gig, worst fish & chips ever!
