Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 551 Creating a scintillating grid in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] In this movie, we're gonna take…that nino extinction illusion…from the previous movie,…and we're gonna turn it into…what I consider to be…an even more interesting scintillating grid,…as we're seeing right here.…And so the idea is that, even though…every single one of these dots is white,…as you roam your eyes around the illustration,…they appear to randomly turn black,…so you have a kind of blinking, or scintillating effect.…All right, so I'll go and switch over…to our document so far.…And the first thing I wanna do…is invert the entire document,…here inside Illustrator.…
And the way you do that is…to create a new layer,…that's the easier way to work,…by alt or opt+clicking on this little page icon,…at the bottom of the layers panel.…And I'll just go ahead and call this guy inversion,…and I'll change its color to,…let's say, grass green, just for the sake of variety.…And then I'll click okay.…All right, now what you wanna do is zoom out,…make sure your smart guides are turned on.…So go to the view menu,…
