Named Color T-shirt Drawing
by Gary David Bouton (gare)
Hey, who knows? Tomorrow, you might need a drawing of a T-shirt or two, in a color you can quickly change. The September Giveaway is exactly that: Gary’s Xara file contains a vector drawing of a T-shirt all ready for a graphic or snappy slogan. But it doesn’t end there: the “Sand” color at far left on the Color Line is a tagged (named) color. Bring it up in the Color Editor and change it by manipulating the saturation, hue, or other slider and bang! The T-shirts change to that color.
The colored shirts are machine-washer safe, tumble dry, and fade resistant. How much luckier do you get this month!?
You are invited to show everyone how you customize your favorite t-shirt in the TalkGraphics September 2012 Giveaway thread. See you there.
has been drawing with traditional tools for almost 40 years, and with digital tools such as Xara for close to 20. As large a fan as he is a practitioner, Gary encourages others to express themselves artistically through his writing, the over 25 books on graphics he’s had published, and now through The Xara Xone. You can send him some email, visit his personal website, or better yet drop on over to the Xara Xone Forum on TalkGraphics and talk to Gary and the rest of the Xara community.
