Go to window, and choose the windows you want.
Like pathfinder.
This was a great video. I didn’t even know about the Pathfinder tools. I am a beginner. :)
window workspace save as cool
Shush. I know there are. But there are more then enough people who don’t know this.
So what was your solution then?
You can find all of them and more under Window. Like Pathfinder or Character.
illustrator noob: how do i get those 2 menus that he has open???
Thank you! for sharing this information :)
Yep, there will always be some twat who says, “There is a faster way,” but they won’t do a video tutorial on it. This is a great video tutorial. If those people know so much then don’t watch the video tutorial. Simple as that.
Damn! why people always act like this ? I you have better technique, record it and share….otherwise, gtfooh!!
too long…
there are easier and shorter ways to do that that give you a cleaner result. the finished piece had way too many anchor points.
that’s awesome!!
I try to use pathfinder on multiple colors and it always turn my objects into one.
Thanks alot for your Tutorial Contribution. ;)
For people who need help check out #illustrator on the Quakenet IRC Network.

awesome ! thX
to long and to “difficult” =)
use the Rotate tool for small square (with “copy” checked) and then use Compound tool.
sweet!
you can do what he did in photoshop, using the same technique. Unless you want your design to be vector based of course :)
That was definitely helpful…thanks!
cool, thanks :)
Nice video, thank you
Very honest tutorial; “don’t worry about that one” (lol)! I’m quite experienced in photoshop but new to illustrator and found this to be helpful. Worth watching
Thanks
