and significant and in this movie,
I'd like to recreate an homage
It's not going to look exactly like this,
I've made some changes to it
and also I should mention that this movie
is inspired by a tutorial
by Diana Berg on vectordiary.com
I'll come to a blank artboard and
I could have it be at 200 points with a decay of 85%,
eight segments, and this second style.
so I'll just double-click on my rotate tool.
Type in 180.
I need to have the spiral interact with the circle.
The radius of the spiral was 200.
I want a circle
with a diameter of 400.
I'm now going to to position the circle relative to
the spiral, so that it clips the tail of the spiral.
Now with my pen tool I'm going to come and select the
open anchor point at the center of the spiral.
And then hold down my shift key and
draw a straight line intersects with
the outside line of the spiral.
Now let's select all of this and
come to the shape-builder tool.
Hold down option or alt and
And you can see how this is now going to
define our spiral as three independent segments.
I'm going to come and color these segments,
just so that we can keep tabs on them.
It doesn't really matter what colors we're using.
Because they're all going to to
be replaced ultimately.
So now with those three colors applied,
I'll just come and make sure that the
stroke color on the whole shape is set to none.
Now I need to create my pattern that will
fill each of these segments.
I'll do this on the paste board.
I'll choose my elipse tool.
Create a circle.
Once again, at a 400 point or 400 pixel diameter.
I'll switch the fill and stroke properties.
And now I'll choose my line-segment tool.
And drawing from the center point of the circle,
draw a line to the edge of the circle.
Now double-click on the rotate tool.
I want 34 segments.
So for the angle, I'll type in 360 divided by 34.
And then click copy.
until we go all the way around the circle.
And painting in black,
I'll fill in every other segment.
So there's my pattern.
I'm now going to drag this over and
center it upon the circle/spiral.
I need to create three clipping groups.
The clipping shape needs to be
above the artwork that is being clipped.
even though we can't currently see it.
But I will now select that red segment,
currently hidden by the other segments on top and
the live paint group beneath it and
press command or control + 7.
Or from the menu, choose clipping-mask. Make.
I'll do the same thing
for the two layers above,
the yellow segment and
the live paint group that is beneath it.
Keyboard shortcut: command or control + 7.
And then, once more.
So we now have three clipping groups.
Let's just take a look at them individually.
One,
two,
and three.
The key now is to apply a different amount of
rotation to these clipping groups.
So I will come to the middle clipping group and
disclose the contents of that clipping group.
I need to select the content,
the live paint object.
I'll double-click on the rotate tool.
And that really is all I need to do.
It remembers the angle of rotation that I used before.
Now this is where it slightly differs from the original.
If you take a look at the original,
the patterns line up in a different way.
I just happen to like it more this way.
This is the angle that I'm going with.
And we now have our completed pattern spiral.
