Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode, 4 organic shapes, a toothed sun, a flower, a ink stain, and a swirl, all from a regular circle using the Distort and Transform effects. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The Distort and Transform effects change the shape mathematically. Because the effects are live, we can keep adjusting the numbers until it fits perfectly. Image 4 equally sized circles in the four corners of the artboard with yellow, pink, deep blue, and purple colors.
Step 2: Zig Zag into the Sun
Select the yellow circle, then the Distort and Transform effect, Zig Zag. Set the size to 20 pixels and the number of segments to 6, choose the corner points. The edges of the circle transform into sharp teeth like a sun. Select the pink circle, then the Distort and Transform effect, Pucker and Bloat.
Step 3: Pucker and Bloat into a Flower
Slide the slider towards Bloat. The anchor expands outward, turning the circle into a 4-petal flower.
Step 4: Roughen into a Stain
Select the deep blue circle, then the Distort and Transform effect, Roughen. Set the size to 5%, detail to 40, and point smooth. The edges become irregular like an ink stain. Select the purple circle that has been given a subtle zig-zag, then the Distort and Transform effect, Twist with an angle of 120 degrees.
Step 5: Twist into a Vortex
The shape rotates into a swirl.
Step 6: Expand Appearance
Live effects can be applied to objects, expand appearance to edit the effect anchors directly. Do this for the sun, then save and export. Done.
Done!
We've used Zig Zag, Pucker and Bloat, Roughen, and Twist to create organic shapes, then finalized them with Expand Appearance. In the next episode, we'll create mandalas using the Transform effect.
