- [Instructor] Repetition is an important concept
in graphic design.
Letters are inherently interesting shapes.
And when we repeat them,
we can create interesting patterns.
Here I'm using the radial repeats tool.
From the object menu, repeat, radial.
I can move this slider up and down
to add or remove instances.
If I want to rotate the letters,
I can double click on any one of them.
This takes me to isolation mode
and I can then spin any one of them around
and we see how that's going to affect the whole pattern.
We're now going to exit isolation mode
by clicking on this back button on the gray bar.
We can also use repetition
to reinforce a concept.
To begin with here,
I'm going to use my touch type tool
to adjust the baselines of my letters.
Then I'll return to object repeat,
this time I'm using a grid repeat.
My pattern is going to start out
extending beyond my art board
so I can come and adjust its width and its height
and then adjust the space between each of the repetitions.
