4 months ago
An Adobe Illustrator (CS4) screencast tutorial including these steps:
1. Draw 2 squares: 1 black and 1 white
2. Turn them into a Symbol
3. Apply Transform effect to repeat them horizontally
4. Apply Transform effect to repeat the line of squares vertically
5. Expand everything and move squares to make 1 perfect rectangle
6. Skew and resize the checkerboard (to match the Bavarian flag)

David Macy 3 months agoSince you have the Bavarian Flag as a guide, why not just make a skewed square by clicking the four corner with the Pen tool, then Option+Drag the shape with Smart Guides turned on to make the grid pattern? -
