animation

my animation is based on the life and dreams of a carrot, i created my carrot in illustrator and then used a gradient effect to create some 3dness so they stood out. i then created 2 different stalks for the carrots so they looked more real. one carrot has tall thin stalks and the others have a cloud shaped stalk. i've also added some "stripes" across the carrots to create the natural rings you see on carrots. on the bag I've taken the oppacity down on the date and then added an out of date sign in bright red so that is the first date you see and not the actual date on the bag.
