My own sweety...

While it's not quite as clever as FlySOLO's series, I was inspired by his work to come up with this.

joroho,
Great work. The packaging looks just like the real thing. Help me if you can...did you painstakingly draw those fonts, or did you find them somewhere?

Ron, For "Sweet 'n Low", I used a font that was reasonably close to theirs, but then had to painstakingly fit the text to the curved path, in some cases adjusting individual nodes. I couldn't find a way to make Xara do this easily for me. For "Equal", I simply traced their lettering, and then for my wife's name I used an installed font (I'm not real thrilled with my selection, but it was late and I wanted to finish the project, so this is what she got).

joroho,
Yep. I know what you're talking about, I've had to do the same thing with a lot of my car logos and names. I was hoping you had a little secret that would eliminate all that work. But I sure don't know of any other avenues.
Thanks for the reply,
ron

I think it is sweet...

As sweet as...

chocolate covered sugar bombs....

BTW: Nice drawing there joroho!

But you left out the newest and the SAFEST sweetner on the market today..... Splenda!!

Nice drawing there Joroho!!

Hate it!

I like my sweetener white - and by the table spoons...

Your illustration looks great though, Joroho. It looks just like the packages I avoid at work!

Two thumbs up!

Yes please,

I will have a little tea with my cream and sugar...

[RAMWolff44]

Splenda IS white. It's sugar with the calories removed and is even safe for diabetics to use! It does have one thing in common though (and it's not a weird taste left in your mouth and tounge), it's 200 times sweeter used in the same amount as a normal teaspoon of sugar. So a little goes a longgggg way!!

Don't poopoo it untill youv'e tried it people, I was just as sceptical and you know how picky I am!!
