Retro Triangle Pattern Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

⭐️ Get Millions of Creative Asset Downloads from Envato Elements - spoon.graphics...
In today's Adobe Illustrator video tutorial we're going to use Illustrator's powerful vector tools to make a retro style triangle pattern, which seamlessly repeats a series of randomly coloured shapes to cover an infinite area. Being vector artwork means the result is crisp and sharp, and can even be resized and re-coloured to suit different applications, all without affecting the overall quality as it would a pixel based pattern.

Hey Chris! In case you didn't know, you can use the eyedropper tool on colors in a window outside illustrator so you don't have to take a screenshot! Never stop making videos

[@spoongraphics]

+Elle Jay Gee Great tip! I never knew that

[@ljgalletta8872]

holy crap I just taught an educated graphic design legend an Illustrator tip.....

[@Glavonja94]

+Elle Jay Gee how can i do that? when i try to click my cursor change

[@ljgalletta8872]

Alright so: make sure your Illustrator window is restored down so you can see the color you want in the other window. Here's the key: when you have the eyedropper tool selected, click INSIDE your Illustrator document, and then DRAG outside the document to the color you want on the other window. Let go, and that'll be the fill color for your selected object!

[@Glavonja94]

Elle Jay Gee Now i understand...Ty very much

Nice job man ;)

[@junxstar]

Thank u real big help

[@RegiOLobo]

Loved it, im a newbie, and your videos are helping a lot, i just got adobe and im trying this, i got stuck in the step where you select only the clip mask rectangle and move it around to verify if it repeats, but everytime i try to do it it selects the rectangle and all "invisible triangles" from outside the pattern, how can i just select the clip mask to move it around? ty

[@ShineLine3]

Tnx!

[@lokeshbastia1461]

its awesome

[@GrafikVibz]

Nice

[@ericdestiny2035]

Super

[@lukesaliba4997]

I followed this method and the triangles do not fit in each other seamlessly. If you zoom in the tips always pop out a little even though i make sure to use shift when making the shape. I check the lines using CTRL Y and they dont intersect at every edge. I also tried making triangles using a hexagon and drawing a horizontal line, copying it and rotating it by 60 degrees to make the triangles and i still get the same problem. Any advice please?

[@Chris-yy5on]

You have to do it without any stroke. I got it to work by using misc. fills that didn't resemble the colors I wanted as placement.

[@baturrazamuhammad3890]

Plz more of setting repeat of a pattern

[@alexferyanugerah7185]

awsome

[@annmal2349]

thank you very much for tutorial. but when i put my pattern on swatches area, it stays there only when i work in the document where i was creating thepattern. when i start to create new doc, there's no my new pattern on swatches pannel. how to save it so that i could see the pattern in any time? is it possible?

[@ChristieKoekemoer]

Am I the only one that noticed the darker line around the red triangle? How do you get rid of this darker line to create a more seamless pattern? I get it between the hex colors CD1F35 and 009888 when they are next to each other. Working in CMYK 300dpi for print and don't want that nasty line there. Any suggestions?

[@lagaming5777]

Mine won't crop!!!!!

[@AlexeySlastenin]

It was very cool! please tell us by means of which you take a screenshot?

[@danielogorman2843]

+Alexey Slastenin press and hold cmd+shift 4 on the mac then drag the area you want to take a picture of on the screen and that will create an image you can bring into photoshop or illustrator

[@AlexeySlastenin]

Thank you so much for your help

[@danielogorman2843]

My pleasure buddy happy designing

[@lol233333355555]

The triangles' sides don't snap to each other, yet I have smart guides on. What is happening?

[@jaykim5930]

02:04 how to do that?! Without saving screen shot only using clear board I think

[@thaovo5133]

i'm stuck in the crop step. When i tried to crop the 2 object, it's pop up a notice " please select 2 overlapping paths " i need help :((((

[@campfish5643]

Did you go to college or uni to learn graphics or did you just learn by yourself ?

[@vietnam2371]

1000th like

[@Ravi-fx6vf]

I can't place it in swatches it says ''no swatches available in adobe colour account''

[@nikolatotev]

Could you tell me where to find the crop tool, I cant seem to find it.

[@BrownHuman]

Why not just use the paint bucket tool instead ?

[@Marco-fk5hv]

I failed from 2:37 I can't select each triangles but just path.

[@Marco-fk5hv]

ah! i missed command key sorry

[@crristox]

How do you do to take screenshots with your mouse??

[@edmundengland]

On a mac, command, shift and 4.

[@alessandrospiridigliozzi7943]

my crop tool doesn't work and I can't understand why...

[@sheikhashique6622]

You have to have each and every object/shape selected for it to work.

[@Frevell]

i accidantly did the whole thing as points and not pixels, is there any way to make it pixels now?

[@BrownHuman]

Frevell import it to photoshop

[@Frevell]

Brown Human cool, thanks!

[@Frevell]

Brown Human how can I do that?

[@Ipoddemolisher2000]

when i try to use command + D to transform again on my mac book it just opens up the launch pad

[@malayariderr]

haha this is funny

[@niko-kin]

Hello there mate, I have a wierd kind of issue with crop tool, after I crop the pattern to match the rectangle size it leaves this wierd kind of bar at the bottom like on this picture prnt.sc/dpevx2 which kinda ruins the entire vertical of the patern, do you maybe know how to remove that bar? Btw thanks for the video guide, it's amazing :)

[@DiamondLabs1]

This is kind of late, but it seems you have a stroke on.

[@georgioskonstantinidis6868]

In case u didn't know, you should know that Chris knows. -.- who knows if it's a nose.

[@xxxshotgunlowiexx]
