Challenge entries (so far)

As other times, what I have achieved in Inkscape and what I have retouched in Gimp.

@mrks9 Cool images; what‘s the rectangular shape in the center?

Thank you @Polygon  If you mean the one above the icon, I tried to make a kind of optical illusion by merging layers. The idea was that the square, although it belongs to the background, would seem to go through the clock. 

That´s what I`ve guessed. But find it kinda distracting as I´m not expecting a transparent centre: where is the drive? 😉

@Polygon If you think about it realistically, I know it doesn't work. But hey, it's all about playing 😊

I was replicating a tutorial for the center optical illusion image and ended up with a clock for the challenge 😄 In blues and creams in Inkscape, but when I moved it to Gimp it became black and silver.

Hi,

I made it 2 years ago for a school project. At this time the book "The Art of Computer Designing" by Osamu Sato was my first source of inspiration.
