[How can I cut the thick frame (stroke) of a rectangle diagonally?]

Old Bruce and Dan C

I was able to recreate your designs. Thank your very much for your help

Aammppaa

Can you please explain in more detail how you created your design

Your design is interesting because (like you said) it is more editable

Dan C and Aammppa

thank you very much for your responses

I will try it out myself

 

 

[How can I cut the thick frame (stroke) of a rectangle diagonally?]

PixelPest thank you very much for the 2 file you send me.

I prefer the first file because the frame is more balanced.

Although I looked at the history  I could not recreate your design

Can you please explain to me how you did it, maybe a step to step instruction

[How can I cut the thick frame (stroke) of a rectangle diagonally?]

thank you very much for the quick response

I would like to create something like in this new file without creating 2 separate rectangles

[How can I cut the thick frame (stroke) of a rectangle diagonally?]

I know how to cut the fill (the main part) of the rectangle diagonally using the Node Tool.

But I don’t know how to cut the frame diagonally

[Change the colour of the ice cream scoop]

and thank you first defence for helping me out

[Change the colour of the ice cream scoop]

iconoclast thank you very much again.

I will try the different thinks you told me.

[Change the colour of the ice cream scoop]

iconoclast thank you very much for your advice

what tool or brush do you use to fill the selection?

I know how to sample a colour with the pipette but I don't know how to apply that colour to my ice cream scoop

do you use the flood fill tool ?

I am not very familiar with the Affinity Photo tools because I only use it a few times

Click on it to choose it as Foreground Colour and then fill the selection with it. Of course on a separate layer.

The green and red colours can be sampled colours on pixel layers and the blend mode of each pixel layer set to Colour Burn.

firstdefence I created the the first ice cream according to the your first screenshot using the same values

Hue 0° Saturation -100% Luminosity 31 %

but I was not able to create the red and green ice cream.

can you please explain to me in more detail how you created those red and green colours

did you use the HSL adjustment?

what values did you use?

I don't know the meaning of "The green and red colours can be sampled colours on pixel layers"

 

[Change the colour of the ice cream scoop]

Thank you very much everyone for your quick response.

I really prefer the darker colours from firstdefence. The colours should be similar to the Italian flag

I have to try it out myself and maybe ask you later for more advice

 

[Change the colour of the ice cream scoop]

I would like to create 3 separate ice cream with a different scoop colour each (colours of the Italian flag) while maintaining the same texture

One ice cream with a green scoop

One ice cream with a white scoop

One ice cream with a red scoop

Could have just used your xmas trees!

I know I could have used just a tree from some website.

but I posted my original question because i wanted to learn how to separate any vector graphic in future.

I always like to learn something new

[What is the difference between an EPS file and an SVG file and which one should I use and keep?]

Alfred, thank you again for the quick reply

[What is the difference between an EPS file and an SVG file and which one should I use and keep?]

Alfred, one more question

I know that I can redownload the Creative Fabrica files but I still like to keep a file on my computer just for security

Which file should I keep the EPS file or the SVG file?
