A spiral ornament symbol in illustrator
On Veerle's blog:
“ Today I want to show you how you can create a spiral ornament in Illustrator and reuse this ornament throughout your artwork multiple times resized, rotated, mirrored, whatever… by turning it into a Symbol. I've talked about Symbols before and I showed you how to use the Symbol Sprayer Tool. This time I'll focus a bit more on the creation of the ornament itself. Like always I'll talk you through the entire process step by step. By explaining every little detail of each step, this tutorial should be a good exercise for the beginners among you.”
