Flipbook is designed for keyframe animation, but because it is so simple to use, it is a powerful way to explore design concepts through paint-overs.
Benefits of using Flipbook for paint-overs
- Create many versions on top of a common background underlay in a single document.
- Quickly view other iterations without opening another file.
- Copy and paste layers and elements from one concept to another.
- Duplicate concepts to make sub-variations and easily flip between them to compare.
- Create options within the background underlay by using layers to hide/show elements that appear across all paint-over pages.
- Easily export out all concept pages as individual images.
Will Flipbook meet your concept workflow?
- The canvas size is limited to a maximum of 13 MPX
- This is the equivalent of a 4K pixel dimensions, A4 aspect ratio at 200 dpi, or Letter proportions at 200 dpi
- A single common underlay/reference that is used as a background across multiple paint-overs
- The background can have up to 20 layers or groups
- Each page of paint-over can have up to 20 layers or groups.
- Your total page count is 1000 pages or less per Flipbook file.
- Export output of individual pages can be PNG or layered PSD
If your assignment fits these criteria, Flipbook can be a powerful and creative tool for concept exploration; check out this article to learn more details on creating Flipbooks.
