Rotating

This is the kind of problem that I would like to have resolved myself through some research but after a little while I still can't find the explanation for what I need. Basically I have a rectangle that has been rotated so it's on it's side (around 30 degree angle lets say). I want to snap it back i...

Re: Page Layout for Printing

Okay I'm giving this a go again now, and before I do just a couple of Q's: When I save as a pdf, there is a window that appears with a bunch of options. I would love to have someone explain what they all mean and which ones are important to understand etc. Covert text to paths (checked) Omit text it...

Re: Is there a way to get a water reflection effect?

^thought about that but it's always a good idea to keep things simple in logos and not let them get too busy. I think so anyway.

Re: Is there a way to get a water reflection effect?

So this is what I've come up with so far using jitter nodes and then playing around with them slightly to get the desired ripple look.

^Thanks flamin! I can already tell that this might work, or at least get the closest effect to what I want. Cheers.

Re: Duplicating gradients

I understand that, but I am in a situation where I would like to thicken up the shapes in the position they are in without looking like they have an outline. That's essentially my predicament.

Duplicating gradients

Okay I want to keep this real simple because I know, intrinsically it probably is. I have a shape. I have applied a linear gradient to it. I need for it to have a stroke that doesn't show, so I want the stroke to be the exact same gradient I have applied to the shape fill. I am so confused by the gr...

Re: Is there a way to get a water reflection effect?

This is so comprehensive! Thanks for all your time and effort helping me get this effect! Unfortunately none of what I have seen however is exactly what I want, it's all too detailed for a logo. I honestly think the water ripples effect only really works when there is at least some detail so I don't...

Re: Envelope Deformation

Interesting - thanks for the reply. I actually gave your suggestion a shot...before you posted it! :P It worked quite well, much better than what the envelope deformation did. There's always a way! Haven't tried the tweak tool, ever. Will look into it.

Printers

Hey, does anyone own a good A3 laser colour printer? I am in the market for one and I am trying to do as much research as possible about what to get. I think the best thing to do though is to ask other people what they use and what they think. I am not going to be a frequent user of it, but I do wan...

Re: Your first Inkscape drawing

Thanks. I've rendered it a few different ways since so it actually looks even better in my opinion but this is the basic layout.

Envelope Deformation

Hi! I currently have a fairly rigid, square text that I am trying to give a slight curvature on the top and the bottom. I want the top to curve down and the bottom up, so I'm shrinking it a bit in the middle. However I'm having a bit of trouble maintaining the squareness of the letters when I do thi...

Re: Page Layout for Printing

Thanks druban! I'm just wondering though, what difference is it to do that as opposed to saving the individual images as pdf's when I had issues at the printer with them? Won't the same thing happen? Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I save them, though I wouldn't have a clue what. I just thought...

Page Layout for Printing

I have several svg. images files which I want printed out on the same page (A3). I took these images to the printer and they asked that I converted them to pdf. as they weren't converting to their system very well. (I'm kinda new to the game so forgive me). Even after I did that, they still suffered...

Re: Your first Inkscape drawing

Hi all, new here. I've been playing around on inkscape for about a year now and recently finished my first project which was a logo for a football supporters club. Took me some time, but I'm quite a perfectionist when it comes to logos so this was my first effort on ye ol' inkscape. http://i207.phot...
