Banner Challenge

I only used Xara X. I was going with the old string and tin can communication system from childhood play, although these days maybe I should have done satellite linked laptops to reflect the times.

Attachment is png form as requested. I'm only a beginner with the program but constructive criticism is welcome.

I just did this for the halibut. Nibbled it out in Xara Xtreme and animated in SwishMax.

btw: Norman, do you remember your drawn TalkGraphics bus? It's surely a good theme for a Community banner.

Hi! Remi, actually the bus was drawn for me by Sally,(I only filled it with TG avator pictures) so, perhaps she might like to do something with it.

This banner was created in XXPro with clipview. I couldn't get rid of the white on the right.. How to do that?

Great banners everyone! Love the ones from Grafixman and Norman !

Hi Marcia,

I would say, there is a big rectangle in the background - perhaps a invisible one? You know the "Set view quality" slider? A nice trick to search for invisible objects within your Xara Xtreme drawing is, to set the view quality to Outline mode (also available under menu "Window" -> "Quality" -> "Outline"). Give it a try.
