4/5/2006 - When April showers. . .she never closes the curtain. . .
I'm blaming my lack of Blog updates on the recent rains here in Los Angeles. It's difficult to be creative when you're soggy.
Which explains this post!
Ever wonder what artists do when they need to pay bills but there is no one to hire them to be creative?
They learn vector programs and create very exciting graphics like this wheel!
The client says things like, "We want it to look as photographic as possible but we don't want to take a photograph of it because that's work. And besides, it's easier to just pay you. And besides, there a good chance we'll print this on the side of Star Jones."
This was all vector - all shapes (no gradients) built in Illustrator with the pen tool. Stuff like this is very easy once you get the hang of bezier curves. It's just very. ..very. .tedious. I encourage people to not be afraid of Adobe Illustrator. It's just like Photoshop - but different. And as everyone knows, a truly vector-based illustration is resolution independent and can be enlarged with no loss in quality, allowing it to be imprinted on very large surfaces.
(PS: Don't tell them about Star Jones - they'll be very disappointed!)
