Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 458 Islamic design 4: Completing the corners, part of Deke's Techniques.
- In this movie I'll show you how to finish off…the corners of your highly geometric Arabic pattern.…And if it's any consolation,…this is the easiest part of the project…for the simple reason that the corners…are repeated versions of the center of the artwork.…However, we do have to create them as an independent layer.…And so I'm going to start things off…inside my document so far by selecting the center layer…here inside the Layers panel,…and then I'll click on the flyout menu icon…in the upper right corner and choose Duplicate Center.…And now I'll go ahead and double click…on an empty portion of the center copy layer…and I'll change its name to corners…and I'll change the color to let's say Teal.…
And then click OK.…Alright now I need to move this artwork right here…to the upper left corner of the document.…And in order to make that work properly,…I need to have something to snap to.…So I'll turn on the expanded layer right there…and I'll turn off both 8 points and 16 points,…which are the dynamic versions of those same path outlines.…
