how to get your daily dose

Hi Bob,
Actually made the shape with the bevel tool

For those who want to know:

-create straight line with an "beveled" line type 96px(line gallery)
-apply 50px bevel,round join,elevation 90,contrast 0,light angle 0
-now make line 1px
-convert to ed.shapes,ungroup
-(shift)select middle nodes in shape editor tool,delete nodes

-delete line(small middle one)
-create text line

-select all txtline+shape
-apply shadow20px/50%,you'll get two shadows(1 for txt,1 for shape)
-conv.ed.shapes,ungroup
-change the "shadow shape" of the txt to white
-stretch it to the same width/height of the bg shape


You get this:

Maybe the others who posted here,could show us some pointers how they did it(so we all can learn)

Remi, I totally agree with the verdict

Hans, I think your method is ok but it needs 5 more steps to accomplish the thingy...

And yes Bob, we learned something too, notwithstanding...

[iamtheblues]

Remi, you are the height of tact and diplomacy!
Of course I'll go along with it.
Saludos,
Bob.

Hi Marcia,

I know i didn't get it right,completely
That's why i asked everyone to post their solution so we all can learn
that there are other methods to use.(without contour)

Okay Remi,

That's fair enough. Rather than continue within this thread I've started a new one HERE.

Here is a .XAR file of one that doesn't use any contour, for anyone who wants to pick it apart. As I said earlier, it is all in the bevel settings.

Yeah...maybe after all I don't need a thinking pill..

Ofcourse you don`t, firstly you don`t look fat.
Besides that, if you were, you would need a Thin-Queen Pill.
(Or a thin-princess one, but you don`t need it.)

Now Elvis, he could have used a Thin-King Pill.

(Okay, Never mind me, I am just being silly )
