![]() Also, in regards to Illustration, consider the form that is being depicted. ![]() Take the time to really consider if something needs a pattern or not. Like any element, they don’t work ALL the time. Things to considerīecause patterns add another level of visual interest, it is often easy to throw them on everything. If the pattern needs to have more dots, simply shrink down the original dot (with its square) and create a new swatch pattern. The amount of dots is dependent on the size (and spacing) of the original dot. Step 3: Create a shape and then select the newly created swatch pattern for the fill. With that and the circle selected, drag it to the Swatch Palette. Step 2: Turn the stroke off on the square. This is the spacing between each dot in the pattern. Zoom in and out to double-check, it could just be the monitor depicting the pattern in a funky manner. However, there are times when the pattern looks misaligned or distorted. The reason behind testing the swatch pattern in a shape is to ensure the elements are lining up correctly. ![]() If changes are made, a new swatch must be created ( objects again dragged to the Swatch Palette) in order to use the new pattern. *Keep these original objects off to the side in case the pattern needs to be edited: the color of the lines, stroke weight, increasing or decreasing the repetition. ![]() Step 7: Select the lines and rectangle and drag it outside the artboard.* Test the pattern by creating a new shape and setting its fill to the new swatch. Drag these to the Swatch Palette, resulting in a newly created swatch. Step 6: Select the two lines that are forming the pattern AND the rectangle in the center. Step 5: Go to the Blend option again and select Make. *This number will determine how many lines are repeated in your pattern. Step 4: Select the two lines and in Blending Options (Object >Blend > Blending Options), set the Spacing to Specified Steps along with an desired increment, which MUST BE AN ODD NUMBER*.Then click Okay. Turn off the stroke of the original rectangle. Step 3: Delete the two duplicate rectangles and the line of the original rectangle. Make sure things are perfectly aligned: the corners of the original rectangle are touching the centers of the duplicates. Step 2: Duplicate the objects (the rectangle and line), aligning the one copy at the top-right corner and the other at the bottom-left corner.Īgain, Smart Guides will make life easier. Smart Guides (View > Smart Guides) is a huge help. The crucial part of this is that the line must be aligned perfectly in the center, shooting diagonally from the top-left corner to the bottom-right. Turn off the fill in the rectangle and set it and the line at 1 pt. Begin and end the line from the top-left corner anchor to the bottom-right anchor, then select and scale it up proportionally. Step 1: Create a rectangle and diagonal line going through the center. ![]() Below are step-by-step instructions on how to easily create two patterns in Adobe Illustrator: line and dot.
