Thanks! Will do! If you want to see more content, subscribe to the channel! I post new videos all the time!

Thank you so much for this!! I've been so frustrated with the lack of adobe symmetry

Your method is the best one I've found! its exactly what I needed, though instead of using a circle I use a rectangle around the entire canvas.

Omg. This is so useful. Thank you for this, it's exactly what I was looking for. :)

Brilliant fix, so good! Thank you! Also for people having trouble getting the live draw reflect to work(2024): the command is under Effect, Distort & Transform, Transform. I think. Also go to your Appearance panel and click on your newly created transform fx

Amazing workaround, that's exactly what I'm struggling with! Thank you :)

Great tip! Good video :) Pleasurable way of presenting.

Best Tutorial Yet!! really helpful thank you!

You know better than Adobe does 🤣 thanks for teaching us 😍

Have fun with it. I also did some crazy tessellations on my instagram using this effect.

Thank you!!

Thanks for this! Your method is simple and very effective! I have resorted to using Fill with no stroke, then using align/distribute tools to do my best to line up the paths so the touch, then manually make corrections so I don’t have jagged corners when I use strokes once my path has been joined. It’s a process! I saw you used this technique for the sun-ray effect on another piece and I love this, I was doing something similar, but I’d have to do the math to rotate the correct amount of degrees to have symmetry… assuming I was using an even number of rays.

Wow that sounds like quite the workaround. Hopefully Adobe will improve that in a future update. And I am not a math person at all but when I start using the rotation technique with this, it sometimes requires a bit of it to get just right.

Awesome video and explanation like always, your version is the best for sure 👌 I would love to see more information about things to consider when doing design for printing (flyers, brochures etc). I'm still learning about graphic design and I'm always wondering things like: 1. Is this typeface thick enough? 2. I should always use 100 black color for text, especially with thin typeface (I always tend to use light grey which I've noticed doesn't print well) 3. Do I outline the text or not? (sometimes when outlined some letters in the text look weird on pdf) I would also like to learn InDesign and from you I'm sure it will be very easy 🤪 Omg it's the longest comment ever, sorry 🙈

Great thoughts! I'll make notes and maybe make a video on one of those!

wait so what is the regular shortcut for that transform popup ?

Even the Photoshop symmetry tool is a bit broken - if you use any interesting or dynamic brushes it won't allow them to be mirrored. Adobe need to fix these tools they should be simple.

I've watched this a few times, but cannot figure out how you keep the Transform Effect turned on when you begin a new line/object.

I'd guess your problem is making sure that your circle is grouped before adding the transform effect then clicking into that group to draw all the lines.

@@addisongabe I made the circle into a group (by its lonesome) and put the effects onto the circle. But when I draw within the circle, the Transform effects are based on the new path, not on the center of the circle. I also tried putting the effects on the layer itself, and that centered everything on the circle (which was also the center of the artboard). But even with Smart Guides turned on, I don't get them when I start to draw within the circle, with either method.

you're so smarrrttt

Come on bruh no one care about what u talking about in the intro just show us the method 😭😭 I don’t got time for all that

Your t-shirt game is on point! Ever thought about trying DTF printing for your designs? @‌fastdtftransfer
