- It's a public holiday for many of us in Europe, so we're celebrating with a special long weekend offer on all first time purchases of Xara titles. Don't miss out, the offer only runs until we get back to the office on Tuesday morning!
- If you're on holiday too, then we have a good idea on how you can fill your time. It's month 2 of our design contest, the theme is icons. The prize remains Outsider Glory, $100 of Xara or Magix software of your choice or a $100 credit to your Xara account. More details below.
- It's a long time since we featured any car art and we can't resist the temptation any longer. There are so many great Xara artists creating this sort of image that we can feature 5 new Xtreme users whose work we've never shown before.
- It's that 'back to school' time for many, so what better time to check out our new academic pricing and network friendly versions of Xtreme (see Other News below for more info).
Whether you love it or hate it, there's no doubt that car art always has the wow factor. So here's a selection
of recent examples from five new artists, demonstrating yet again why Xtreme is the illustration software of
choice for this sort of art.
