This is really just a simple use of path boolean logic and a blur based shadow effect. I added some text to a page and converted to paths. I used the node tool to remove all of the inner shapes in the text to emulate what would happen in reality if these letters were cut out of paper. I then added the red rectangle. To push the effect, I did a path/difference to remove the text shapes from the rectangle. To simulate reality, I took this paper shape, duplicated it, added a blur and made it grey to create a shadow effect. I moved the shadow a bit down and to the right. I thought it was a funny kind of play on Rock Paper Scissors (rochambeau) and also clearly (hopefully) related to Valentine’s Day. I also felt like it was a little sad, like what someone who couldn’t tell his valentine how he really felt. This is for you, you sad, crushed, depressed design geeks. Go tell her (him, whoever) how you really feel.

Love your rochambeau and the explanation, especially the post how-to commentary.
Thanks, Tim. Lots of fun experiments going on here. I hope you’ll be willing to send me a picture on the FB group for inspiration!
I’ve been thinkin’ of the best pic to send. I’ll let you know when I do.
I’d love one from your Tim-a-day series. Just sayin.
I would be curious to see your interpretation, visually speaking, of the rochambeau “rock paper scissors lizard spock” using the objects and hand gestures while also showing their relationships.
