Help Please

I have only just found this site and I must say some of the graphics you guy's produce are absolutely brilliant. So I have purchased Xara Xtreme pro.

And thats where my problem starts.

I have a business that called "Cus4Mortgages (See us for mortgages) and i'm trying to create an eye with the business name in the Iris.

This will then be used for advertising purposes in local newspapers. Its probably a bit ambitious for a first project especially as I'm not exactly an artist and I never worked with a graphics program before.

I would also like to take it a step further at some point and when the eye winks a different message appears in the Iris.

My thinking is that the eye could also be symbolic.


I would appreciate some help and guidance on how I could do this.

Thanking you all in advance.

Once you have drawn your eye, the rest is relatively easy.

As it happens, I was having a bit of a play earlier and made this eye.

I was focussing on the iris only - the rest is just a quickie to give it some context.

You are welcome to use this and edit it to suit if it is useful to do so.

Unfortunately I didn't save the .Xar file ... I was just playing ...

Hello Swanny,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

You may find Sheffield Abella's guest tutorial on the Xara Xone http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest36/ to be what you are looking for. It is titled "Illustration Technique for Creating Realistic Eyes".

you might want to rethink this:

at 12 points (minimum for logo text) you eye is going to be something like 12 inches across.

imagine it on a business card.

Hmm I wonder about the name?
Cus 4 mortgages?
Now in american slang or southern american accent actually
it would be translates into regular as 'curse for mortgages'.
Well most people do that a lot when the don`t get one but
normally not when they have to apply for it, Here it seems
mandatory.
