    Stygg—

    Alternatively, and yes, I do recommend this, do a layout that incorporates some or one of the existing drop caps I provided.


    I did not intend this to become an art competition, but instead, just a fun resource. Please, let's have fun with these things, okay? Let's attract members and perhaps we can stretch this inot a call-for-entries down the road. There will be no TV tutorial because the top news on XaraXone this month is Gary Priester's First Looks at Web Designer 11.

    So I need to work with what I got here to attract attention and encourage participation, with your support and help!

    *****OFF-TOPIC LEG NEWS*****

    I'm still supposed to use a walker around the home for six more weeks, but the surgeon I visited yesterday says I'm healed up enough now to take stairs and drive the car. Talk about sudden, unexpected freedom! Barbara, do you have a moment to pop some corn and stream a movie into our Theatre Room?* Name:  smsmirk.jpg

    I did a mixture if you like of drop cap but used one of the Alchemy symbols instead, it's not great but it got me thinking

    I dunno, stygg. I really like it. Perhaps we should collaborate on a follow-up set for alchemists, or make it a typeface?

    I've got a small (ha-ha) member challenge for you, perhaps the first out of Xara Xone.

    so you know it's gonna be weird.

    A group collaboration to draw "Infinity" .

    I'll be chairing this, seeing as I don't have a video tute for June, but don't take that as supervision, because this should be a group working together, or not. I'm just going to pick up later, collect the deposit bottles and get some refunds we'll put in the General Fund.

    My Best,

    Gary

    Looks really interesting and intriguing infinity, I'll have another look on Saturday, unfortunately and sadly, I have a funeral to attend on Friday so not really concentrating at the moment. What I did do though, was manage to do a trio of the Alchemy symbols, I know I've posted one already but in this image I've included the shapes I had drawn to make the extrudes and if anyone wants the xar.file of all six images to do what they want with them, I'll gladly upload it.

    Best regards

    Off the top of my ever-shrinking head, stygg, aren't there 7 alchemist metals, or do you count again the first one you did?

    They are nicely done and work well with each other. Bring them with you to the Infinity Room when time allows, okay? Sorry you have such a sad occasion to attend to over the weekend, mate. But Infinity, I think, will wait for you.

    It always has

    My Best,

    Gary
