A good idea rarely stays in one tool.
Eight projects to try, from the first mark to a finished piece. Follow a route, skip a step or make it your own. Use separate windows or keep your studios together in Workscape.
01 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Make a moth-print collection
Take one small drawing further: a print, a patterned sheet and a moving strip can all grow from the same motif.
- Wobble: draw a moth, leaf or character, or give it a short hand-drawn loop.
- Dither: explore a limited palette and ink texture until the artwork feels like a print.
- Repeat: arrange the rendered motif into a seamless pattern or a scrolling strip for a banner.
02 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Give a place its own surfaces
Build a coastal town whose walls, paths and water feel like they belong together.
- Material: bring in a scan or photograph, then shape its placement and finish into a surface tile.
- World: use the colour tile for a map surface and adjust its scale, rotation and offset.
- Try several finishes beside your map in Workscape, then keep the one that suits the scene.
03 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Turn a pattern into a room
A little tiled illustration can become wallpaper, a floor or a decorative finish.
- Repeat: build a tile from stars, flowers, marks or your own artwork.
- Material: use the tile as a texture or artwork fill for a crafted design.
- World: try the pattern on a room floor or map surface. This uses a still tile, rather than an animated map texture.
04 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Make lettering part of the artwork
Create a gig-poster title or a print-style wordmark instead of leaving type as an afterthought.
- Library: compare fonts using your actual words and choose the character you want.
- Send a transparent specimen PNG to Dither for ink and palette treatments, or to Wobble to draw around it.
- Keep the font and native projects alongside the rendered lettering if you want to revisit the design.
05 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Find a musical idea in a score
Use a short phrase as the beginning of a game cue, a gentle loop or a different arrangement.
- Library: choose a supported MIDI file and send it to Sound.
- Sound: pick the passage and parts, listen, then reshape the notes, instruments and arrangement.
- Save the editable track and export a WAV or MIDI when it fits your project. Use scores whose rights permit your intended use.
06 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Give an illustrated scene a sound
Make a rainy harbour, a cosy room or a strange little world feel alive while you work.
- Sound: compose a short loop, or build an effect from tones, noise, impacts and your own recordings.
- Send a rendered playback attachment to a supported visual project, such as World, and listen alongside the artwork.
- Keep the Sound project for later edits. Export sound and images separately when assembling a final video.
07 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Build a cover from your collection
Bring sketches, textures and lettering together into a book cover, poster or artwork sheet.
- Library: gather and shortlist your assets, then arrange them in Production.
- Place, crop and mask artwork to find the composition; use Material to create a missing texture or finish.
- Export the finished design and keep its original assets available for the next revision.
08 / CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Keep a whole idea on one desk
Work on a poster and its soundtrack, or a pattern and its surface treatment, without losing your place.
- Workscape: open the studios you need and choose a side-by-side working pair.
- Send work to an existing tab; detach a studio when you need more space and bring it back while it remains open.
- Save a .jagoworkspace checkpoint to keep the editable documents and working arrangement together.
