Botanical elements
Botanical elements
Botanical illustrations for Seeds of Renaissance: plants and flowers in colour, cut out of their paper as transparent PNGs. Made from the botanical flower mood board (moodboard folder botanical-flower-illustration/removal-candidates, on GitHub), where each image was cut out, cropped to a tight box and renamed. See also animals, mountains and woodcuts.
Gallery with every file and a link to each: graphics/botanicals on the design system site, built with every set by python3 system/build/build-galleries.py from elements.json (which also makes the gitignored thumbs/).
They keep their painted colours and are PNG only: a trace would flatten the washes and hatching. They are not retinted. See the colour rule in colour.
Elements
In elements/. Names read subject-style. Long side up to 1000px. Transparent edges are cropped close, with about 2px of margin: add space around them in the layout.
