Great work. Can you explain how you did this in Designer?
layer structure, coloring etc

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

Thank you.

001-004 : Circles manipulated to give the desired parts and overlayed, then gradients applied 

005: Wrote a JavaScript  to get the circles in the color spectrum that goes from one color to target color. That gave circles the color and the path using svgjs. Then loaded those to AD to further manipulate and add depth.

006: One ellipsoid repeated over and over with different gradients applied one after another. Wire view of this only shows one ellipsoid contour. 

007-009: same idea as 006, used merged circles to get the ‘pill’ shape and overlayed the gradients and transparency over and over. Each ‘pill’ will show a single contour in wire view like 006

Interesting way you've discovered to achieve a very fluid look to the shapes, uuxxaa. They remind me of ice lollies...😛

And the typeface you've chosen is beautiful. I've not seen it before. It really compliments your designs.

Have you thought about applying the effects to the typeface? Just a thought... 🙂

Maybe there is...

It was the middle of the day and the Tiger was lazing in the sunshine. A thousand eyes were on him, but one eye in particular watched him more closely than the others. The eye of Ice Cream Man. He knew that the Tiger was hot and he timed his arrival with the hottest part of the day. The Tiger looked up as The Ice Cream Man stepped out from behind the Bird of Paradise plant holding a cool, colourful ice lolly - a Rocket. The Tiger's favourite! The Tiger looked up. The Ice Cream Man gave the ice lolly a little shake and a droplet of fruity water fell onto the Tiger's tongue.

'Is that for me?' asked the Tiger.

'Only if you can bend the stem of this tall, tall and beautiful plant so that I might pluck the flower,' replied the Ice Cream Man.

And so the Tiger reached up and pulled the stem of the Bird of Paradise plant down so that the Ice Cream Man could pluck the flower. He handed the Tiger the ice lolly and plucked the flower, which he was going to present to his wife, Ice Cream Woman.

He smiled as he walked off with the flower. But the Tiger was enjoying licking the Rocket ice lolly so much that he did not even notice the Ice Cream Man's departure.

Would that do for the story? 😀

”Those designs are very nice indeed. Please accept my compliments.”

”The Modak typeface complements the style of the coloured shapes.”
