Now let's try out try to create a simple a really simple pattern geometric pattern using the shapes that we learned how to use them and moving them in the right position. So, I start creating a square then I I take away the stroke I say nostril come and the to the color I wish and here I can choose it of course you're just like this green Okay. Now, can you see here there is a lock we have to lock here because in this way, if I scale my my square, it will not the proportion will remain right So how can you scale just when it is selected with a black arrow, just going on this little arrow here, and you can as you can see dragging, you can skate. You can of course, do these this thing if I, if I click one, if I click one time I see these are all arrows but if I click two times I have this kind of arrows that give me the possibility to rotate.

Okay, now, back that back so you can always rotate and scale your shapes or your shapes. If you make a mistake, as always, you can go back to here you have these two arrows, go back or go forward. Okay, now, I wish to create some squares. I can also just click But with with the other bottom of your mouth, the right and the left is the right one and I see duplicate and you see duplicate okay? In this way I can really foster creativity many squares. Now let's do another thing to learn is to select many many objects or together so always with the black arrows I select all of them and they could say duplicate Okay, learn to be confident with these.

Copy duplicate you can also do copy and paste but duplicate is a faster now as you can see here I have some blue bottoms because they are selected when they are selected. If I put to one of my squares are near another, they just anchor Can you see Okay, in this way, it is really useful if you have to position your square so one or the other, okay? In this way. So just duplicate and he, he moves alone, just this, put it near and he goes to the corner, it goes to the corner, okay? If you don't need to position your square here and it is annoying for you to ever do this instrument, you can just click here. And now if I was making put this here, it doesn't.

It doesn't go on the center here, okay? So you can use it when it's useful or just click and it will be no more selected in this way. Okay, now let's create a really simple A doctor it could be this one for example batter with something in here for example, I wish to create a circle and put it here if you wish, this circle really in the center of the square, there is another really important window you have to learn to use it is this one click here and it opens here Okay. Can you see there is always a here below there is always the film stroke paint window, okay, they are all here. And now you you should ever hear these first selected okay. So if I select these one first and then the circle as a second one, I can see that I wish my circle in the center relative to the first selected and in for the for the high two.

So in this way now it is just in the center. My circle Okay, let's start again duplicating the circle. Make our circles smaller. And now just click the first circle the second one and stay in the center of the first one, and so on. In this way you can put your or your shapes where you wish let's create another square smaller. I duplicated this one and I wish this one okay with this color, okay?

And so on. In this way you you're going to create a Arabic pattern if you wish to export it now, just make it bigger because the resolution will be better when you export it as a mg you could just make it bigger than your file below it it's not so important now when you have to export it It must be all selected. You see export PNG, okay. And here you there is a It must be the selection not the page because if you export the page it will export all the space of these a4 page Okay, so the selection then export as you click here and you can choose where you wish to export it so for example here I can export it on my desktop and you put your name Okay. And then Okay, save now, I didn't export yet. Now, it's important to remember to click here export because sometimes you can think I already exported now.

We just the We have just written that just in the name now export Okay, he export but another thing to do to check and they didn't check was the DPI if you wish to print the busy made, make sure you have at least the 150 DPI sometimes I export 300 DPI to be sure I have a good resolution Okay, so check always direct solution because you could have just a 72 it's not enough for printing okay. When you have exported your pattern as PNG Of course you can open it, it will be more and more of vectorial design or vector design. So you you can just open it as an image on Photoshop, photo paint, GIMP and so on. If you wish to save the vector file, and I recommend to do the the one you work you have just to see files the VA and you will you'll save it As the as the G file and this is vector design so when when you open it, you can still move your objects because when it is a PNG, you have normal objects, you have just big stuff, okay?

This is the big file, if you wish to open it on illustrator, for example, you can do it about probably you should save as plain as SVG, okay? But you can open it on insert or if you have illustrator, I don't have it. Okay. This is all for today. I recommend to try to create many of these simple geometric patterns. And in this way you learn to be confident with these tools.

I teach it to you to user I told you to use and I use Hope you enjoy
