Yeah. Will start back think this Friday or Saturday. Just finishing up current personal projects, to commence with the painting exploration on Affinity. The current brushes are powerful enough. Look forward to see what kind of thing I will get out of the project. @gdenby

Some more experiment. Not too sure where I am going with this mechanic I found yet, hmm.

I felt the colors was too constraty so decided to tone it down a bit and make it feel much softer overall.

 

 

I think a client would pick you up on putting the $ sign after the number when it should be before. Other than that I love the layout. I love the flow of the colored boxes!

It depends where you are, Phil! For example, they apparently often put the $ sign after the number in French-speaking parts of Canada such as Québec.

I live in Québec... In Canadian-English,  the $ is put before the amount and there is no space. In Canadian-French, the $ goes after the amount and there is a space between them.

Thanks, Alain. That sounds like the way the euro symbol is generally used in mainland Europe.

I’m guessing that in printed material the space should be a thin space, as used before a question mark or exclamation mark.

I don't know if a "thin space" is required, it could depends of the font used, but it has to be a non-breakable space for sure.

Really? That's very interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the knowledge! I just see Americans doing it all the time and it has bugged me no end (or 'to' no end, as they would say!) but now I will have to become someone who couldn't care less (or could  care less as Americans WRONGLY put it!!!)

JUST who I was thinking of though, to be fair, I am pretty much always thinking of David Mitchell!

Seems like my thread is turning into a coffee shop. Shall serve some beers too while I am at it.

These are very interesting. Really nice work. One thing, are they really 'lightning Exploration' or did you mean lighting?

[BrianHermelijn]

I just realized I wrote lightning instead of light

Beers? In a coffee shop??

Apologies for hijacking your thread, Brian.

[Phil_rose]

There are some in this country though I guess they are more bars that serve coffee!

Ooh, I like this one very much. Looks like a water droplet upside down or something.
