MirrorMe - Illustrator Tutorial
From the course: Illustrator for the In-House Designer
MirrorMe
- [Instructor] The MirrorMe plugin from Astute Graphics is something that I actually use a lot in generating backgrounds. I like patterned, abstract backgrounds, and quite often I build those from a simple object. And it could be something as simple as a rectangle. In fact, this element here was something that was generated from such a thing, and I'm going to use it to generate another pattern using MirrorMe. And I do actually sometimes use this just for the fun of doing it. So if I select MirrorMe, what I get, I get this grid affair, this radial affair, that comes down like so. And you can see there that if I bring that angle up, that's how it's reflecting and rotating those things around. Using the bracket keys on my keyboard, I can change the number of divisions that has and also in the panel that comes along with it to determine the number of axes. So I'm just gonna come along to a point here and I'm just gonna click and drag across the shape, and I'll rotate this around a bit…
