Adobe Flash CS5 Happy Halloween Extra Goodies
I wanted to use my previous Happy Halloween graphic, and add more animation.
I continued Adobe Flash CS5 tutorials located on Lydia.com. I closely followed the tutorial, but made adjustments to fit my festive graphic animation. The next step was adding a new layer to my Happy Halloween graphic. I named this layer Trees. I used the Deco Tool, and clicked on properties panel. I selected drawing effect and experimented with Fire Effect, but it wasn’t what I expected. I then tested Drawing Effect- Decorated Brush and Advanced Options- Thick Leaves, and changed the Pattern color to orange. I experimented with this effect until I was satisfied with my Thick Leaves creation. I investigated other Deco Tools to cheer up my graphic, and decided to check out the tree Drawing Effect. I chose Tree Brush, then Maple Tree, and adjusted the colors to enhance the autumn season.
I experimented with the pencil drawing tool and created a pumpkin. The carvings of the pumpkin’s eyes, nose, mouth, and stump were tricky to free draw and color. At one point I some how changed my background color, but I like it black instead of green. Now my next step is to make this graphic animate.
