    Default Re: Frieze Designing Challenge

    @Rik, thank you. You have started to experiment.

    You might have just dragged and dropped a colour form the Colour Bar.

    Developing on this start, how might you change the colour of just the bar or even just one of the circles, fill or line?

    The Challenge was more than just this: how to change the shape of the blobs...

    I can do that, by going into the Page & Layer Gallery and selecting the line or the circle, and changing the colour of the line or the circle.

    But, I have no idea how to change the circle for another shape or an image?

    Rik, you are 85% there.

    Before I do the big reveal, you are aware that when you change one blob's colour, then the End position control simply clones that blob.
    For the image you have here, you can make red blobs and blue blobs but green blobs would have to be by hand.

    As you have discovered the Page & Layer gallery is the clever part.
    Select a blob there and then change the Tool to the Shape Tool and experiment.
    Also with the Selector Tool, what can you do with the controls and meta-keys?
