457 Islamic design 3: Connecting the pieces

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now as you may recall we are in the midst…of pursuing this geometric Islamic design,…which I'm also calling an Arabic pattern.…Now last week we created a total of four 16 pointed stars,…each of which are surrounded by eight red…eight pointed stars in Adobe Illustrator.…This week we're still in Illustrator…where we're going to connect the pieces.…So we're going to fill in this gap right here…with one of the finest collection…of precisely aligned path outlines you have ever witnessed.…

Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, here's that very complex center,…so you have a chance to see it on screen.…Whereas when we last left off we had a gaping hole.…Alright, so first thing I'm going to do…is zoom in a little bit here.…And I'll go ahead and turn on both the template…and guides layers by dragging up this eyeball column here.…And notice right here at the center of the original Tunisian…stained glass window we have yet another eight pointed star.…
