We're up to the letter E in my quest to use Inkscape to illustrate a filter or a combo of filters using a ABC theme. The Filter is Enamel over 4 different colors of lettering .

Valentines Day 2018 Two Offerings


#stvalentinesday #love #typography


I have merged several layers of textures and dropshadow but I'm still not completely happy with the orange flames despite a color edit however its about halfway to the image I have in my head.
The only other technique I can think of would be markers and then a color edit or multiple stroke and outline changes and all the alternatives... 

This "simple" fuzzy crimson pink heart has several merged layers!

Valentine Tags

#tagging #metadata

Tagging for Valentines Day is a Problem. There are plenty of commonly used tags that can be searched for or blocked but how to combine them so your product design or post stands out in search engine rankings?

I hope you'll help me out testing them by  looking at  and searching this list or using it yourself.

Discarded Designs

DISCARDED DESIGNS

TV and other media sometimes gives the false impression one can whip up a design and finish it in a matter of minutes or hours never days or weeks.

Well yes sometimes one can be on a roll and get a design to finishing point in one day but I always try to leave the design for a day or two and come back and take one last look and THEN look at it on a number of browsers and sites.

Sometimes it looks great in Inkscape or Gimp but once I upload at a smaller or larger size to Facebook Google Plus or Twitter ro Red Bubble or CafePress or Deviant it looks different.

This series was inspired by 1 Corinthians 13 :13

Looks great expect for the little problem of the uncial t touching the i and making faith look like fath or fach on a small PR sized thumbnail

other alternatives I considered for this

I may yet use this but on dark colored tee shirts only.


and this is me playing with filter combos

Would work as a print on paper or an album or book cover but fabric ?

So finally I tweaked the letter spacing on the first design.

Hopefully it will now work at ALL sizes!

I've probably over emphasized the initial L but if it draws your eye to the rest of the lettering ...?

This will be up on Voxy Visions
