Covered in this month's Workbook:

• A Repeating Basketweave Pattern
• A Basketweave Brush
• Editing the Extrude Tool Lighting Settings
• Fun with Stars
• A Copper Coil Brush

In the Xara Xone: The Xara Xtreme tutorial is a Japanese hobnail teapot. 44 steps, recommended for users with some familiarity with Xtreme. There are some very excellent moves in this one. Ima Guest just won't go away. She is back with a new Guest Tutorial called Xtreme Tables. Ima's tutorial shows how to create tables in Xtreme that InDesign and Quark XPress could only dream of doing. The Featured Artist Gallery Show for September is the 17 entries and winning entry in the Xtreme 5.0 Logo Design Contest. The contest was not for real, and was not approved of or sponsored by Xara or Magix. But is was fun to see the different designs and creativity of the Xtreme community. Denis Gromov won first place. Cindy Groves (PixelDust) came in second. Check it out. If you would like to be considered for a single or one of the upcoming group shows, e-mail me and let me know where I can see a few of your images.

I am accepting your contributions (Tips, Brushes, Templates, stuff like that). I'm starting to run out of ideas and could use your input. If your site has Xara graphics and is not listed, send me your link and a brief description of how you have used Xara on your site.

You are probably aware of Xara Xtreme but have you downloaded Xara Xtreme Pro? All the tutorials in this Workbook are done in Xtreme Pro, so if you don't have it, get it now.
