how to making simple vignette design

vignette is an interactive system that facilitates texture creation in pen-and-ink illustration. unlike existing systems, vignette preserves illustrators workflow and style. users draw a fraction of a texture. we currently support both 1D and 2D synthesis with stitching. our system also has interactive refinement and editing capabilities to provide a higher level texture control, which helps artists show that vignette makes the process of illustration more enjoyable and that first time users can create rich textures from scratch within minutes.
the steps of apen-and-ink illustration with vignette from scratch:
a. draw leaf strokes (black) and gesture (red)
b. texture created from gesture and strokes
c. more textures
d. draw scale strokes and gesture
e. region filed with scales
f. hatching strokes and gesture
g. fill region with hatching
h final illustration created in minutes

vignette for your design

vignette, in graphic design, is a unique form for a frame to an image, either illustration or photograph. Rather than the image's edges being rectilinear, it is overlaid with decorative artwork featuring a unique outline. This is similar to the use of the word in photography, where the edges of an image that has been vignetted are non-linear or sometimes softened with a mask - often a dark room process of introducing a screen. 

An oval Vignette is probably the most common example.

Originally a vignette was a design of vine-leaves and tendrils ('vignette'=small vine). The term was also used for a small embellishment without border, in what otherwise would have been a blank space, such as that found on a title-page, a headpiece or tail piece.

The use in modern graphic design is derived from book publishing techniques dating back to the Middle Ages Analytical Bibliography (c a. 1450 to 1800) when a vignette referred to an engraved design printed using a copper-plate press, on a page that has already been printed on using a letter press (Printing press).   

Vignettes are sometimes distinguished from other in-text illustrations printed on a copper-plate press by the fact that they do not have a border. such designs usually appear on title-pages only, wood  cuts which are printed on a letter press and are also used to separate sections or chapters are identified as a headpiece, tailpiece or printer's ornament, depending on shape and position.
