Tools

The next thing I had to do now that the buttons were created was to produce the tools that the users will need to draw.
The tools have changed throughout the weeks in their appearance having being altered till myself and Tim are completely happy with them.  Below is the work that I have produced using a combination of the software packages Illustrator and Photoshop.  Tools have changed to show consistency throughout the website on all the buttons and tools that will be used.  

The brush starts off simple and has progressed to represent a tool that could be used on a drawing package but as a group we felt that the tools should have the same sketchy look and feel as the buttons do, so this is why it has evolved over the weeks and finish with the bottom one.

The pencil design again started out with quite a simple look which I wanted to improve upon and create a 3D look which I think came across very well but as a group we decided that it looked out of place with the buttons having the look of a sketch effect which worked well with what the site was about.

The crayon tool had the same treatment as the others in the fact that it has altered through the weeks going from a simple to a 3D look then a sketch effect design to be consistent with the other tools.

I designed a paint tin that would be used for the fill tool.  A simple drawn tin in Illustrator turned into a 3D tin then the finished tool looks like all the others with the sketch effect.

A felt tip tool was designed in Illustrator but we made the decision that the tool would not be included as we only needed the three, pencil, crayon and paint brush.

 Felt tip tool.

All the above tools will be in the panel situated on the left hand side of the site where the user will choose how what to use when creating their drawings.  The other tools that need to be produced are the colour palette and the line width tool.
