Just A Sticker

This time, inspired by Ryan Lerch's inkscape tutorial for a sticker I tried to make one of my own. Here is how mine ended up.



There were a few things that I learnt from it though.

  1. When you do a cut path, the paths get cut, BUT, BUT BUT, you cant see any damn thing on the screen. Because the fill color vanishes. So, when you have cut paths, instead of fumbling around wondering what happened to the shapes you just had, simply choose a color from the color palette and you will be able to see your shapes, with a faint border between them, indicating the line where the objects were cut.
  2. Secondly, you need to export to bitmap if you want to save the image as a png properly. Thats because if you simply do a save as, your png somehow gets screwed if you have a blur in your image, the way I had. Try using save as  - png, for an image with blur, and you will see for yourself.
