This is a quick tip to show you how to properly screen colors in Adobe Illustrator. Make sure your working in the CMYK color space, use spot colors that can be matched at press, pick a color and screen it with a percentage. DON’T USE TRANSPARENCY!

In this screencast I cover preparing a file in photoshop to be used in illustrator to create a bezier shape to use in after effects as a mask. I also show you a quick demonstration on how you can manipulate those masks for some cool animations. Imagine how you could implement some cool effects.

You can see how I used this technique in the motion project below. I used the radio waves effect in After Effects with the masks to create this nice smoke effect.
