Purple Aiya
Adobe Flash
This symmetrical design was used to test Adobe Flash to build and refine puppet creations.
She is used to display how a puppet is made, and how all parts vary.
This project was also used to test pivoting and a more organic approach to puppet parts.

Step 2 - Symmetry and ColorThe base was drawn with a grid beside a symmetrically flipped duplicated graphic. This creates a mirror between the two images, updated with every brush stroke. After all the parts are drawn, the reflection is merged with the original to create one solid piece at the center. All parts separated from the center are their own independent graphic, labeled Left and Right.
The image highlights all the parts and shows the grid layout. |
Step 3 - Graphic Layer OrganizingAfter all the parts are decided, they are made into graphics - or Flash symbols for animation. They're labeled and put into a hierarchy with folders and layer placement. Purple Aiya also explored different means of pivot placement within the graphic symbol and without.
This screenshot shows both the layer hierarchy and the library folders and graphics inside it. |
