What program is the most popular for making flourishes?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?


You think he means like the viney stuff you see on the sides of award graphics, the kind of thing in commercials that is all the rage as it grows out?

I always thought flourish was a verb.

Well, a Google search told me what it was:

I would imagine there are brush sets that you can buy (or that are free) for the patterns.

Nice find Tommy.

I'll bet it would be really easy to blow those up a little, and then trace them in Illustrator.

That would be cool. You could even convert them in 3D objects once in vector form.

That would be cool... and if you really want to get fancy, bring it into a 3d app and go crazy with flyby's and stuff like that. :)

I would like to recommend the videocopilot link, It's a very cool After Effects Tutorial, and if you purchase their evolution package you get cool flourishes that grow out, then you can modify them from there, which is simple, and generates something pretty cool. The tutorials are really 10/10 so even a beginner should be able to do it.

But if you were talking about a program to make your own flourishes from the beginning? If you need them for a banner or something, than www.deviantart.com holds many free flourishes, that is easy to edit in photoshop, and if you wish to make them "alive" than you can apply a mask layer and move it along with the timeline.

Hope it helped:)
