Text Animation (Mathew 7:7)

Mathew 7:7

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

This is a text animation design done in After Effects. After Effects is more fun to work in than Flash. I know there might be people disagreeing with me. But, Personally I like to work in After Effects.

YouTube has lots of tutorials which are easy to follow and understand. If you wan to learn something new and expand your knowledge, learn free tutorials from YouTube, just like I do. 

It is fun to learn new things and also expand your portfolio at the same time. If there is any chance you get to learn, one should grab that opportunity. One should not think where or whom is they are learning from, instead use it. 

As far as the content in the animation goes, I have already mentioned the context from the bible. The thing is one must not take or quote the bible out of context. Yes, the bible does say, that you should ask, seek and knock and if you so, you will receive. But, you must first ask according to GOD's will.

;) how u doing ;)

This is me trying to work on my Wacom Cintiq tab for the first time. Each screen was drawn on different layers in Photoshop CS6. I got the image inspiration from Pinterest. Then, I drew each feature with the time delay as taught by the tutorial in YouTube. It turned out not so bad I suppose.

 

Super-Food called Moringa!

So, for all those wanting any moringa healthy action in their life, you might want to check this out.

Moringa is a healthy source of all goodness and health. Moringa is rich in antioxidants and can reduce cholesterol, blood sugar level and inflammation.

It is know as the "super-food" which which is both cheap and easily available. It's seeds, leaves and bark can be used for food as well as for medicinal purpose.

It is absolutely fine to lean towards the tasty options. Tasty food makes us feel nice. But that constant guilty feeling after eating that delicious food is something that we all don't like. Instead, let us go for these healthy options which can be tasty as well. And guilty, what guilty? All you end up feeling is healthy and amazing!

Gooseberry Package design (when in doubt look around)

Ok, so it took me a while to find out what amla leaf looks like. I am not going to show all the Amla(Gooseberry) leaf I had to search. Thankfully there is Google and a Botanist in my office! Make use of everything you got when you got them.

So after quite a long search, I got the image. I copied the image from the internet, and traced it in Illustrator. I had to do some fine tuning to the image and this is how it ended up looking. Well lots of work still to be done.

I ended up coloring the image with the colors I thought were close to the actual image. I was planning to design a grungy looking image. I felt it looked as grungy as I wanted it to look like. Still more work to do guys.

I had to trace out the leaves from the actual image. Now it is time for the Amla(Gooseberry).

For, those who have Wacom tablets to work on good for you. But, I forgot to bring my Wacom from my home. So i had to use the mouse to do the coloring. I turned out pretty good I thought.

Now it is time to place the image on the packaging, to see how the final output would look like. Well, if this hadn't worked out, I would have to design the Amla all over again. Maybe less grungy. But, tha

Now begins the process of placing the image on the packaging and finding out the exact position for it. A position that suits it.

Let us place background in the packaging, so that we can write the content on it, shall we. 

 Finding the right font for packaging is so difficult sometimes. I used to be web designer, doing designs online is different than package designing. I am still in the process of learning the write kind of font for packaging. I think here the font worked out well. It is bold and still suites the image. Mostly because the the roundness of the font matches the blunt edges of the images drawn. There is a hidden uniformity which works out for the design. 

When choosing font we can get inspired by the images the font is going to be placed with. Getting ideas from the surrounding gives us a better picture of what the output should look like.

Placing the similar object(Gooseberry) with the packaging, gives the vector image some sort of reality, plus it reduces the burden on the designer to search of something else which matches the packaging.

When in doubt look around, the answer would be in the surrounding.

Tea book marks

These are the book mark designs for different kinds of tea that Genius Herbs produces. I was asked to design a marketing campaign for the various kinds of tea they produce. I thought that instead or going for actual image with the tea in it, why not go for vector images. So, I did. And it turned out pretty sweet.
