MCKIBILLO spent a lot of time refi
ning the original NaniBird silhouette, always
mindful that, like a little sculpture, his papertoy, required consideration of all sides
of the design. The blank NaniBird PDF template
(on
WOW! ONLINE)
was created from a layered Illustrator file, with separate,
simple, vector objects. To insert your art into the template, you can fill each object
with a pattern, you could use Draw Inside mode to paint within a selected object
(see the
Rethinking Construction
chapter for details about how to do this), or you can
use each path as a separate clipping path, to mask any objects (or images) within.
It's tricky to visualize, so print proofs and assemble to ensure artwork within is
correctly oriented. The photo above shows a NaniBird surrounded by a flock of
NaniPeeps (you can also download Peep templates from
WOW! ONLINE
).
