Building with symmetry
- [Instructor] In this movie, we're going to cover the third craftsmanship method using symmetry. All of the methods I'm showing you work together. So you've already seen me create a design using shapes that was symmetric. But I want to focus a little more on this method now, because it's so useful in the context of graphic design. So, let's get started. Once again, it all starts in analog. Here's my two thumbnail sketches for the designs we're going to address in this movie. And ultimately, I created a refined sketch of each. So, here's where my refined sketch came from this. Because it's symmetric, I only have to draw half of it. I even gestured in where I plan on putting type and how it would work with this. But we're going to focus on the building now. So let's go ahead and set this to a lighter opacity of 15% and lock the layers. And I'm just going to turn on all the base shapes that we're going to use in this design.…
