This tutorial will show how to use the rotate options in order to create a radial pattern. The rotate options is frequently in the design world, and how to use it effectively is important.
1. Draw your desired shape using the shape tool. Make sure it is big enough for a pattern. Nearly any shape is suitable. Center it on the art board for recommended effect.
2. Copy and paste the shape and overlap it with original shape.
3. With the copied shape selected, go to Object>Transform>Rotate to access the rotate panel. With the rotate panel, enter the desired angle of rotation, for example, 25 degrees or simply 5 degrees. Use the Preview button on the lower left to help you find an ideal angle.
4. Copy and paste the rotated shape and overlap the copy over the first rotated shape.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you are satisfied with results.
6. Add something extra to the radial motif. Change the colors, use a gradient, adjust opacity, use the pathfinder tool or the shape building, or simply just experiment with other tools and option panels to create something that fits your style.
