Repeating Sun Rays - Learn to use Radial Repeat Feature in Adobe Illustrator

Jun 21

This weeks tutorial is a fun one! I LOVE using this feature when I'm struggling to be creative (because this feature just sort of does the work for me!) Warning: Once you learn how to use this feature, you may be hooked. It's super fun once you get the hang of it and you can create some really cool things with it.

Radial repeat is a feature in Illustrator that will repeat a shape or text (whatever you make actually!) in a radial fashion. You can alter how many times the shape repeats, you can alter the size of the your radius…it's REALLY neat!
I'm walking you through how I design a sun with repeating rays using the Radial Repeat feature in Adobe Illustrator. I've used this feature to make a number of different things too. You can really get addicted….I warned you!!
