Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 705 Adding a dynamic background, part 1, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] In this movie,…we're going to take our object blends…complete with their dynamic distortions…here inside Illustrator,…and we're going to add this equally dynamic background.…And the idea here is that I want to cement the skills…that I've been passing along so far.…And I'm going to start off inside this file,…which includes an additional layer called sizzle,…which contains a bunch of geometric shapes,…including ellipses, rectangles, and straight lines.…All right, now I'll just go ahead and zoom out,…and I'm going to turn off these top three layers,…just by dragging over their eyeballs.…Now I've been showing you the locations of all the commands,…as well as including keyboard shortcuts.…
However, I've got a lot to do here,…and so I'm going to work the way I naturally work,…which is relying on keyboard shortcuts almost exclusively…when and if they exist.…And so I'm going to start off by blending these ellipses,…and so I'll go ahead and click with the black arrow tool,…on the big blue ellipse,…and then I'll shift-click on the smaller orange one.…
