In this movie I'll show you how to create these initials in the center of the…art work, and once again all the segments…are angled at either 60 degrees or 90 degrees.…I've gone ahead and shaved off the excess miter joints and projecting caps.…And most important of all, I've made sure that the…initials precisely align with the zigzag path outlines at the top.…So I'll start things out by returning to my art in progress.…Go ahead and…zoom out a little bit as well.…And press Ctrl+semicolon or Cmd+semicolon on the Mac, to bring back my guide lines.…
Now, you want to select the pen tool, once again.…By pressing the P key if you like.…And then click somewhere along this horizontal guide.…And then move your cursor up so that you see align 60 degrees down…there along that original guideline and the…word intersect along the guideline above it.…And then click at that…location to create a line like so.…And then drop down to that original guideline.…Look for the words align 90 degrees up top and intersect down below and then click.…
