Drive. Stretch. Dream.

I was thinking about how to fold the Shad Valley logo. Its pretty simple, just 3 arrows coming out of one origin on a yellow background. I was having the hardest time trying to figure out how to make the curves in the lines to either side, and I finally decided that it looked a lot better if I left it simple. I folded the model from a windmill base, and ended up with this:
Shad Valley Logo, Ryan MacDonell
It shouldn't be too hard to reverse engineer from the photo, knowing what base its made from. I've also finished my Rat diagrams, 7 pages in total. It might be 8 by the time I get to adding explanations and step numbers. It seems like diagramming gets easier every time!

I use Inkscape. Its free, and pretty easy to use once you get used to it. It makes a lot better looking images than MSPaint too :P (my first ever diagrams were done with MSPaint, a couple years ago).
The program was great, very intensive and I made a lot of new friends.
