Assignment 2- Kinetic Typography, Patriotism (re-do video)

   As you know, the first video was not that satisfying. So, my leader decided to re-do the whole video. This time, I was given the part to trace a flower. It took me a long time to trace it. But I was satisfied with what I have done. 

   There are only a few steps to trace the flower. But I would like to show how the flower turned out to look like...

  I like how the flower turns out. Again there are a lot of work and time needed to do this flower. So, here are a few steps that you can learn how to trace the flower.

Step 1:

  Firstly, I trace the first petal using the pen tool and change the stroke to none. After that, I used the eyedropper tool to fill up colours to the selected petal. I even draw the already formed lines on the flower and colour it using the gradient tool and the Pantone Color Bridge CMYK EC to choose the almost exact colour for the petal lines. For the dark part of the petal, I used pen tool to trace and eyedropper tool to fill it up with colour.

Step 2:

  From here you can see a bit more better on how the petal was coloured. 

Note: To get the Pantone Color Bridge CMYK EC, go to swatch option to open the Open Swatch Library, then go to color books and there you can have the option on choosing the Pantone Color Bridge CMYK EC

Step 3:

  The final  step is to trace the stigma, pollen sacs and pistil. For both the stigma and pollen sacs, I used the eclipse tool to trace them. I used light orange and orange colour for the stigma while I used the red and dark pink colours for the pollen sacs. Most of the colours I used are from the Pantone Color Bridge CMYK EC because of the tonal and different kinds of colour that I can choose.

 Overall, there are 62 layers in creating this flower.
