Well after a lot of very fidely code to try and make my vines line up and add thorns iv finally finished my final mock ups.. Basically I got my inspiration my an unluckly source which turned out to be my neighbours back garden.. Since my initial sketches I have tryed a few different techniques to try and achieve curves that will look like vines.. My first was to use arcs which was going well but i found not only were they hard to understand but even harder to line up and get small segments to move and bend were i wanted them.. After a lot of trying and asking to many questions I also thort of a new problem of how to fill them with the colour i wanted.. After consulting ben he directed me to the curvevertex tool which makes your curves into a shapes which you can then fill with colour and adjust transperancy's... So i quickly abondoned my first attempt and set out with the new curve vertex tool.. My first problem was how to make a full shape of curves look like a small segment of vines that had a fill in them.. to do this i had to continue the curves off the page then come back and continue back to the finish point of the shape. Now the shape of my first part of vine was complete and finshed right a the very edge of each board.. Once I had a vine that stretched across four boards and line up so it would look continuous.. I made some smaller vines using the same tool but added some transperancy so they looked like they were in the background and wouldnt take your attention away from the main vine.. finally i started making thorns.. I started with thorns all of the same size and equal distances apart but decided it would better suit my initial thoughts if they were a bit randomly placed and sized..
