| Something to drink? Five different artists offer six different answers, demonstrating yet again the sheer depth and variety of talent among Xara artists. |

We have a brand new contest and this time the challenge is inspired by the upcoming Football/Soccer World Cup. Entries can be on any subject that's at least somewhat related to the World Cup/Football/Soccer, so long as it's created with a Xara product. You have until 15th August to submit your entries. The prize remains Outsider Glory, $100 of Xara or Magix software of your choice or a $100 credit to your Xara account.
For some starting inspiration, follow this link to a selection of great iStockphoto drawings like the one above. |

"Here's a drag and drop paradise for designers wanting to produce convincing sites with a minimum of code hassles."

You can insert a new point into a line by selecting the line and clicking on it with the shape editor tool.
