Von Glitschka
Illustrator & InkScribe/VectorScribe
For its part in the 2011 London International Technology Show, Astute Graphics
commissioned Von Glitschka to create a poster with a British theme to showcase
their Illustrator plug-in InkScribe. Glitschka researched heraldry, then combined a
rampant lion with the recently-popularized 1939 WW II “Keep Calm and Carry On”
posters, and came up with this poster concept. Glitschka made the initial sketch on
paper, then scanned and opened it in Illustrator. To begin manually tracing over it,
he selected the InkScribe tool. InkScribe consists of a tool (added to the Tools) and
a panel with a new set of functions (accessed from the Window menu), so using it is
completely seamless with using any other Illustrator features. The InkScribe tool
replaces not only the Pen tool but also its editing tools (Add, Convert, Direct
Selection, etc.). The InkScribe tool requires minimal use of modifier keys to perform
most functions, and also includes a customizable Annotations overlay ( InkScribe
Tool with Annotations ), making for a very efficient workflow.
