The Washing Machine of Life

I just created a birthday e-card.

I started it last year, playing around with the Twirl Tool in Illustrator. I thought I could make the rainbow letters just swirl into shape. So I exported various stages of 'twirls' as swf files from Illustrator and then into Flash. It turned out ok but not that exciting... I liked the abstract shape created when all the letters were totally lost. After a long time I went back through the files and I found an unfinished one that went quite fast. It had this mesmerising washing machine spinning effect. So I played about a bit with it a little bit more and it turned out like this! The Washing Machine of Life.

I've decided to show characters and designs that I do, as I go along on here and put the t-shirt link on too. So here you go:

Labels: animation, birthday, e-card, Flash, Illustrator, swirl, t-shirt, tee, tool, tshirt, twirl, washing machine
