Using the Shape Editor Tool, create a shadow shape. Apply a Linear fill using the two colors and the fill path arrow shown. Select the pyramid sides and the rectangle and Arrange > Apply ClipView which places the selected objects inside of the rectangle as shown above.
Create a new rectangle the same size. Open the Fill Gallery and from the Stone Fills folder, select Stone 12 and press Fill to apply the fill to the rectangle. Right click on the fill with the Fill Tool. A Bitmap Resolution text entry box will appear on the Infobar. Enter 200 and press Enter to change the resolution. ADDING FILLS: If you are a new user and do not find any fills in the Fill Gallery here is what to do. Make sure the Xara X CD is in your CD drive. Open the Fill Gallery and click Disc Fills... Xara will attempt to find your CD drive. If it does not find your CD drive, browse to the drive with the Xara X CD. Locate the Fills folder and double click the folder icon. Press Add. Xara will ask if it can create an index. Say OK. Xara will add folders and thumbnails for all the fills. The actual fills remain on the disc (unless you chose to copy them all to your hard drive).
Select the stone-filled rectangle with the Transparency Tool. Apply a Flat, 50% Brightness transparency by selecting Brightness from the Transparency Type drop down list on the Infobar and by moving the Transparency slider to 50%. This is a bit more exciting that the gray pyramid. We can add some type to the image to create a poster or book jacket design.
