Stopwatch

Postby Kjohrf » Mon Aug 23, 2010 6:13 am

Made this part for fun, and part for using in a discount promotion on my graphic design work...

One of the 0.48 Inkscape logo contest entrants was my inspiration, but it was done from scratch without copying or tracing anything.

The relection on the crystal is superb!

Thanks! By "crystal" do you mean the glass cover?

yes - :) used to be called crystal, I don't know what it might be called now
Definition of Crystal by WordIQ Online Dictionary
"Crystal - Dictionary Definition and Overview ... 6: a protective cover that protects the face of a watch [syn: watch crystal, watch glass]

Still is, I guess :D

Wow, very nice!
Did you use text for the numbers, or draw them each uniquely?
The only issue for me is that the red hand seems to be just lying on top. I wonder if a couple of subtle shadows either on the face or on the hand itself, or both, might enhance the depth?
But this is really just a minor thing -- I think the overall work is excellent!

Thanks!

The text is text. Algerian for the numbers and Runy Tunes Revisited for the model, etc.

Good idea on the shadow. The hands need a little work still, I think, and the outer rim, too.

Here it is with subtle shadows for the hands, and some slight changes to the rim.
