Hey guys why not join in the fun. I think there are lots of ways to do these that have not yet been explored so let't see what you can do.

There's a guy I work with who claims I do my Xara graphics in MSPAINT and he says he could do it in MSPAINT.
Metallic gold text warped out shape and give a shine or gradient filled with a shiny border on MSPAINT? I told him I'd like to see him try.
Now I've started music making with different software which is also published by Magix.

Let me guess...
A fractal fill and the 3D perspective option with a bit of shape moulding?

No on all counts. The A has a solid red fill, cloned, clone filled with a glass bitmap then brightness transparency applied, the gold part was done with Filter Forge, the part you think was 3d Perspective was a fattened clone of the above set to black and moved to back.
