Aranging the Wings, DVD Lable.

The Wings I copied into Illustrator from Photoshop were not level as I had them on different levels as Iron Man was at a slight angle. So  I went into the .psd of the wings and deleted one, then in Illutrator duplicated the layer and mirrored the wing. This allows me to move them both indipendantly and to get them level and lined up manually and unsing the snapping guides.


I want to vectorize these wings and make them mroe simplistic to inkeep with the DVD lables' design so far. II'm only gonig to do it to one wign at a time, so if something does go wrong I'll quickly be able to have a clear copy of the wing to try again with/replace one I've applied the effects to. I have this plan as these computers here I slow and undoing effects takes forever and just breaks. So it's faster to delete and start again.

To apply the different effects to wing I use the Tracer options, which I have pinned to my side bar on Illustrator.

These allow me to select different style from the drop downs aswell as intensity, and wether it leaves the original image below for comaprison etc.

I select the siloette option.

I chose Silloette as it made the image the simplest also because other effects apply to the entire image box and do not take into account the transparenties, so it results into a massive box.

I increased the amount of colours used in the silloette trace options, so get this effect. I then applied it to the other wing.
