Line is a Dot that went for a Walk

Paul Klee first used the line concept to interpret human emotions. I have tried to express the emotion confused on this animation. People can be very agitated when they are confused until they can figure out what they can do about the situation. Check the video out first.


I have used a circle to emphasize the confused dot which runs around the screen until it gets an idea what to do. The bulb shows the fact that it has come to a conclusion. The bulb was created using Adobe Fireworks. And then it becomes a line which walks to the right of the screen and then comes out in a different colour and then walks away from the bottom left of the screen.

This done simply using Adobe Photoshop.

The circle and the line are two simple objects and the bulb is an imported image. Below shown are the formation of the layers.





The animation was also done in Photoshop using timeline animation. Below is the timeline of this animation.



That is about it. Hope you are not as confused like the dot after reading this.

Illustrator Heart

This blog is about the use of vectors in Adobe Illustrator. The below shown heart shape was created using vector graphics.

Three circles and three lines were used to create this objects. Also the pathfinder tool was used on this.

This is an images of the first use of the pathfinder tool. The divide option was first used in order to remove the excess vector sections of the object.
This is the merge too which is used to merge all the shapes at the end in to one object.

Also a generic gradient has been used to colour the object.
