Create vector twitter bird from scratch

Clarence Lee — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 04:33:24 +0000

Personally I’m not a super fan on Adobe Illustrator, I seldom post illustration on my blog, but I think it’s worth to post this tutorial by George Coghill on Go Media Zine. It will walk you through the steps from sketch to vector – scan drawing, apply action in Photoshop, create vector paths by using the pen tool and vector art tools, in creating an original cartoon-style character vector illustration.

Freeband – The Ambient Life

Clarence Lee — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:35:12 +0000

Freeband Communication and IIPIC share a vision of the future: a world in which information and communication technology render one’s surroundings into a thinking and caring environment. The results of the Freeband Communication research program should be visualized in a compelling film. I approached the material using infographics to explain the vast quantities of data. To create a relationship with the continuing technology the film starts with a minimalist introduction in a narrow color spectrum and gradually transitioned to an abundant, multicolored world.

Use Flash to create vector portrait

Clarence Lee — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:44:46 +0000

Hard to believe people using Flash to create vector portrait but this tutorial on Flashtuts+ shows how it can be done in vector based application other than Illustrator. I think the author Jacqueline Thomas did pretty good job on this tutorial. She tried to prove that Flash isn’t only about mathematics and complicated action scripts.

Article on Web Designer Depot

“Infographics can be a great way to quickly reference information. Instead of pouring over figures and long reports to decipher data, an infographic can immediately make apparent exactly what a dataset actually means. Below are more than 25 infographics that can be useful to web designers. Some are incredibly practical, some provide information that might be of interest to designers and some just present data that might be interesting to those who design websites all day.”

Parallax is easy to do in Flash CS4

Clarence Lee — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:52:55 +0000

Create parallax in Flash CS4 is much more easier than before, all you need to do is create different objects inside a movie clip, and then change the Z-index of those objects in the 3D Position, once you move the movie clip, it will give you the prospective of 3D space…cool!!! Without the Z position (in CS3), you have to apply different formulas to different objects on the stage so the objects kind of move in different speed.

Here’s an example I created for Sebastien’s Flash Development 1 class.
