I thought Day 1 was hard to find inspiration for this #15minmograph challenge. This time I had to go searching for assets before anything even came to mind. Then I had a lightbulb moment (see what I did there).
I knew I wanted to play with different ways of applying textures to a piece. I got my hands on a slate texture and a light bulb graphic from Pixabay, dumped a few keyframes on the vector assets and then started playing with the texture layer. Adding grades and effects to contrast and harshen it, and then playing with the blend modes on each layer before timer went and it was pencils down. Texture effects is a tool I commonly forget to play with in client work and I think this small task has probably brought it back to me as a go-to effect for giving vector animation a great organic feel.
Voila…
