1

00:00:00.06 --> 00:00:01.05

- [Instructor] In this movie, we'll take



2

00:00:01.05 --> 00:00:04.03

our single perfect wave

and we'll duplicate it



3

00:00:04.03 --> 00:00:07.02

in order to create this effect right here.



4

00:00:07.02 --> 00:00:11.03

And notice that we have a couple

of pairs of waves going on.



5

00:00:11.03 --> 00:00:13.04

The mostly horizontal orange ones,



6

00:00:13.04 --> 00:00:16.09

as well as the bright vertical waves.



7

00:00:16.09 --> 00:00:18.04

Alright, so the first thing we want to do



8

00:00:18.04 --> 00:00:20.03

is create some additional guides.



9

00:00:20.03 --> 00:00:22.04

And I'm going to do

that by zooming out here



10

00:00:22.04 --> 00:00:25.03

by pressing control zero

or command zero on a mac.



11

00:00:25.03 --> 00:00:27.07

I'll turn off this expanded layer



12

00:00:27.07 --> 00:00:31.00

for a moment because it

might get in our way.



13

00:00:31.00 --> 00:00:33.00

And I'll click on the guides layer.



14

00:00:33.00 --> 00:00:36.08

Then, you want to go ahead

and grab the line tool.



15

00:00:36.08 --> 00:00:38.06

Position your cursor at the intersection



16

00:00:38.06 --> 00:00:40.06

of the two guides like so.



17

00:00:40.06 --> 00:00:41.05

And for the best results,



18

00:00:41.05 --> 00:00:43.06

make sure your smart guides are turned on.



19

00:00:43.06 --> 00:00:46.01

And then, drag up into

the right, let's say,



20

00:00:46.01 --> 00:00:48.05

while pressing the shift and alt keys



21

00:00:48.05 --> 00:00:51.06

so that you're creating the

line from the center outward,



22

00:00:51.06 --> 00:00:54.07

as well as constraining it to 45 degrees.



23

00:00:54.07 --> 00:00:57.02

I got a little bit of an

odd scroll there, but I just



24

00:00:57.02 --> 00:01:01.06

want to make sure that my line

goes beyond the bleed, like so.



25

00:01:01.06 --> 00:01:03.00

So the distance value is probably



26

00:01:03.00 --> 00:01:04.09

going to be more than 1,000 points.



27

00:01:04.09 --> 00:01:08.01

At which point, go ahead and

release to create that line.



28

00:01:08.01 --> 00:01:10.06

Alright, I'll press control

zero or command zero on a mac



29

00:01:10.06 --> 00:01:12.09

in order to once again center my zoom.



30

00:01:12.09 --> 00:01:15.01

And now I'm going to create

a duplicate of that line



31

00:01:15.01 --> 00:01:17.01

by selecting the reflect tool



32

00:01:17.01 --> 00:01:19.05

from the rotate tool flyout menu.



33

00:01:19.05 --> 00:01:21.07

Or you can press the O key.



34

00:01:21.07 --> 00:01:23.06

And that should go ahead

and put the origin point



35

00:01:23.06 --> 00:01:27.01

right there at the intersection

of the two guidelines.



36

00:01:27.01 --> 00:01:29.03

In which case, press the

enter key or the return key



37

00:01:29.03 --> 00:01:31.04

on the mac to bring up

the reflect dialog box.



38

00:01:31.04 --> 00:01:33.05

Set the axis to vertical.



39

00:01:33.05 --> 00:01:35.03

Although I believe horizontal in our case



40

00:01:35.03 --> 00:01:37.06

is going to give us

the exact same results.



41

00:01:37.06 --> 00:01:39.08

And so, either way, just

go ahead and click copy



42

00:01:39.08 --> 00:01:42.02

to create a copy of that line.



43

00:01:42.02 --> 00:01:45.03

Now press the V key to switch

back to your black arrow tool.



44

00:01:45.03 --> 00:01:47.06

Shift click on the other diagonal path,



45

00:01:47.06 --> 00:01:50.05

then right click inside the

document window and choose



46

00:01:50.05 --> 00:01:54.04

make guides to convert those

two lines to guidelines.



47

00:01:54.04 --> 00:01:56.06

Now let's bring back the expanded layer.



48

00:01:56.06 --> 00:01:58.08

And the reason these

guidelines are going to become



49

00:01:58.08 --> 00:02:01.08

so useful to us is that

they will help us make sure



50

00:02:01.08 --> 00:02:06.00

that we're duplicating the

waves in the proper fashion.



51

00:02:06.00 --> 00:02:08.08

Alright now go ahead and

select the expanded layer



52

00:02:08.08 --> 00:02:10.06

and switch to the rectangle tool



53

00:02:10.06 --> 00:02:13.04

which you can get by pressing the M key.



54

00:02:13.04 --> 00:02:16.07

And then, go ahead and

click at the intersection



55

00:02:16.07 --> 00:02:19.06

of all of those guides and if necessary,



56

00:02:19.06 --> 00:02:21.03

you can just go ahead and zoom in



57

00:02:21.03 --> 00:02:24.02

to make sure you're clicking

at the proper location.



58

00:02:24.02 --> 00:02:25.09

But, wait a sec, don't click.



59

00:02:25.09 --> 00:02:28.01

You want to press the

alt key or the option key



60

00:02:28.01 --> 00:02:29.08

on the mac and click.



61

00:02:29.08 --> 00:02:32.07

So we're creating the rectangle

from the center outward.



62

00:02:32.07 --> 00:02:36.08

And we just want a big rectangle

to fill some space here.



63

00:02:36.08 --> 00:02:40.04

And so, I'm going to change

the width value to 900 points



64

00:02:40.04 --> 00:02:43.01

and I've got a height value of 600 points.



65

00:02:43.01 --> 00:02:45.02

Both of which will work out just fine.



66

00:02:45.02 --> 00:02:47.01

At which point I'll click OK in order



67

00:02:47.01 --> 00:02:50.09

to create a giant, apparently

unfilled rectangle.



68

00:02:50.09 --> 00:02:54.01

Which is why it doesn't look

like I have anything on screen.



69

00:02:54.01 --> 00:02:56.05

To fill the rectangle, I'll

click on this first swatch



70

00:02:56.05 --> 00:02:58.06

up here on the control

panel and I'll select



71

00:02:58.06 --> 00:03:02.09

this dark shade of blue that begins R=46.



72

00:03:02.09 --> 00:03:06.01

And that will produce this

big blue field in front of us.



73

00:03:06.01 --> 00:03:08.05

Then, you just want to get

rid of the stroke by clicking



74

00:03:08.05 --> 00:03:11.08

in the second swatch and selecting none.



75

00:03:11.08 --> 00:03:14.06

Alright, now let's zoom out

again by pressing control zero



76

00:03:14.06 --> 00:03:16.08

or command zero on the

mac and then right click



77

00:03:16.08 --> 00:03:18.07

in the document window, choose a range,



78

00:03:18.07 --> 00:03:22.00

and choose send to back or

you've got that keyboard shortcut



79

00:03:22.00 --> 00:03:23.07

of control shift left bracket



80

00:03:23.07 --> 00:03:26.04

or command shift left bracket on the mac.



81

00:03:26.04 --> 00:03:28.07

Alright, now I will press

the V key to switch back



82

00:03:28.07 --> 00:03:30.04

to my black arrow tool and I'll click



83

00:03:30.04 --> 00:03:33.01

on the orange wave to select it.



84

00:03:33.01 --> 00:03:36.05

Now we have to duplicate that

wave and as you may recall,



85

00:03:36.05 --> 00:03:40.08

we want to move it 28 points

down and to the right,



86

00:03:40.08 --> 00:03:43.02

which translates to duplicating the wave



87

00:03:43.02 --> 00:03:46.04

20 points right and 20 points down.



88

00:03:46.04 --> 00:03:49.07

Alright so to make that

happen, press the enter key



89

00:03:49.07 --> 00:03:52.02

or the return key on the mac

and because the arrow tool



90

00:03:52.02 --> 00:03:55.07

is selected, that brings

up the move dialog box.



91

00:03:55.07 --> 00:03:59.01

Set both the horizontal and

vertical values to 20 points.



92

00:03:59.01 --> 00:04:01.07

And as you can see right

here, that translates to more



93

00:04:01.07 --> 00:04:06.06

or less a 28 point move in a

negative 45 degree direction.



94

00:04:06.06 --> 00:04:10.04

At which point click copy to

create a duplicate of the wave.



95

00:04:10.04 --> 00:04:12.09

Alright, now we just want

to fill the bottom portion



96

00:04:12.09 --> 00:04:16.05

of the artwork with waves

and so I'll press control D,



97

00:04:16.05 --> 00:04:19.03

but I need to count here to

make sure I get this right.



98

00:04:19.03 --> 00:04:21.01

So we've already created one duplicate.



99

00:04:21.01 --> 00:04:23.08

If I press control D

we'll create a second one.



100

00:04:23.08 --> 00:04:25.08

Then we'll have three, four, five, six,



101

00:04:25.08 --> 00:04:30.04

seven, eight, nine,

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,



102

00:04:30.04 --> 00:04:32.02

16 waves.



103

00:04:32.02 --> 00:04:35.02

The best of training

involves a bunch of counting.



104

00:04:35.02 --> 00:04:37.07

Alright, now what you want

to do is marquee these guys.



105

00:04:37.07 --> 00:04:39.08

Notice I'm marqueeing over on the edge



106

00:04:39.08 --> 00:04:42.09

outside of the rectangle.



107

00:04:42.09 --> 00:04:46.01

And I just want to select the 16 new waves



108

00:04:46.01 --> 00:04:48.03

that I've created here

and here's the thing.



109

00:04:48.03 --> 00:04:50.04

The reason we have the guides, by the way,



110

00:04:50.04 --> 00:04:52.08

is to confirm that these waves



111

00:04:52.08 --> 00:04:55.08

are moving in a 45 degree angle.



112

00:04:55.08 --> 00:04:58.05

And so you just want to make

sure that this guideline



113

00:04:58.05 --> 00:05:00.02

appears to be slicing right through



114

00:05:00.02 --> 00:05:02.04

the same portion of all the waves.



115

00:05:02.04 --> 00:05:05.04

This guy over here, we're not

the least bit concerned about.



116

00:05:05.04 --> 00:05:07.05

In fact, I probably

shouldn't have created it,



117

00:05:07.05 --> 00:05:09.06

but it's nice to have them both there.



118

00:05:09.06 --> 00:05:11.04

Alright, now press control

zero or command zero



119

00:05:11.04 --> 00:05:13.05

on the mac to once again zoom out.



120

00:05:13.05 --> 00:05:16.04

And I want to duplicate

these guys to the other side,



121

00:05:16.04 --> 00:05:19.00

to the top portion of the

artwork and I'm going to do that



122

00:05:19.00 --> 00:05:21.08

by pressing the enter key

or the return key on the mac



123

00:05:21.08 --> 00:05:24.05

to bring up the move dialog

box and I'm going to change



124

00:05:24.05 --> 00:05:26.05

the horizontal value to negative



125

00:05:26.05 --> 00:05:29.05

and then click after the

value and enter asterisk



126

00:05:29.05 --> 00:05:34.00

not 16 because that doesn't

compensate for the middle wave.



127

00:05:34.00 --> 00:05:36.05

We need to change that to 17,



128

00:05:36.05 --> 00:05:39.09

which is going to produce

a value of -340 points.



129

00:05:39.09 --> 00:05:42.07

And you want to enter

that same value, -340,



130

00:05:42.07 --> 00:05:44.05

for the vertical value as well.



131

00:05:44.05 --> 00:05:47.02

And notice that perfectly

duplicates those waves



132

00:05:47.02 --> 00:05:49.04

into the proper position, assuming



133

00:05:49.04 --> 00:05:52.01

that you click on the copy button.



134

00:05:52.01 --> 00:05:54.04

And that will fill up your artwork



135

00:05:54.04 --> 00:05:56.01

as we're seeing right here.



136

00:05:56.01 --> 00:05:59.03

Alright now I want to select

all of the orange waves.



137

00:05:59.03 --> 00:06:00.05

And I'll do that just by clicking



138

00:06:00.05 --> 00:06:03.00

on a select similar objects icon.



139

00:06:03.00 --> 00:06:04.04

And that assumes, by the way,



140

00:06:04.04 --> 00:06:06.02

if you click the down pointing arrowhead,



141

00:06:06.02 --> 00:06:10.02

that the icon is set to all as by default.



142

00:06:10.02 --> 00:06:12.04

Alright and with all these guys selected,



143

00:06:12.04 --> 00:06:13.09

I'll go up to the object menu,



144

00:06:13.09 --> 00:06:17.03

drop down to compound

path and choose make,



145

00:06:17.03 --> 00:06:18.05

where you have that keyboard shortcut



146

00:06:18.05 --> 00:06:22.02

of control eight or

command eight on the mac.



147

00:06:22.02 --> 00:06:23.04

Alright, so now at this point we have



148

00:06:23.04 --> 00:06:25.06

what amounts to two path outlines.



149

00:06:25.06 --> 00:06:29.03

The big blue rectangle and

the orange horizontal waves.



150

00:06:29.03 --> 00:06:31.07

Now we need to create

the bright vertical ones.



151

00:06:31.07 --> 00:06:34.09

And this is where things

get pretty gnarly.



152

00:06:34.09 --> 00:06:37.06

I'm going to select the

reflect tool once again



153

00:06:37.06 --> 00:06:40.01

and with any luck, your target

is going to be sitting there



154

00:06:40.01 --> 00:06:42.09

right there at the intersection

of all those guidelines.



155

00:06:42.09 --> 00:06:44.05

In which case, press the enter key



156

00:06:44.05 --> 00:06:46.01

or the return key on the mac.



157

00:06:46.01 --> 00:06:50.02

And this time you want to set

the axis for sure to vertical.



158

00:06:50.02 --> 00:06:52.06

And when I say for

sure, again I'm not sure



159

00:06:52.06 --> 00:06:54.05

it makes much difference in this case,



160

00:06:54.05 --> 00:06:56.02

but I'm going to go with vertical.



161

00:06:56.02 --> 00:06:58.07

And then I'll click copy in order



162

00:06:58.07 --> 00:07:01.00

to create a copy of all of those paths.



163

00:07:01.00 --> 00:07:03.09

At which point we get

this fairly insane effect.



164

00:07:03.09 --> 00:07:06.00

What you want to do is go

up to the control panel,



165

00:07:06.00 --> 00:07:09.00

click onto fill swatch

and change it to white.



166

00:07:09.00 --> 00:07:10.08

And then we want to blend these paths



167

00:07:10.08 --> 00:07:13.01

by clicking on the word opacity,



168

00:07:13.01 --> 00:07:15.00

once again up here in the control panel,



169

00:07:15.00 --> 00:07:18.09

clicking on normal and changing

the blend mode to overlay,



170

00:07:18.09 --> 00:07:22.08

which produces this

wonderful interaction here.



171

00:07:22.08 --> 00:07:25.05

Alright, now I'll go ahead and

switch from the reflect tool



172

00:07:25.05 --> 00:07:29.01

to the rotate tool and press

the enter key or the return key



173

00:07:29.01 --> 00:07:31.05

on the mac to bring up

the rotate dialog box.



174

00:07:31.05 --> 00:07:34.01

Change the angle value to 90 degrees.



175

00:07:34.01 --> 00:07:36.07

Don't click copy because

we already have a copy.



176

00:07:36.07 --> 00:07:38.05

What you want to do is click OK



177

00:07:38.05 --> 00:07:41.02

in order to create this effect here.



178

00:07:41.02 --> 00:07:42.06

And now you can press control shift A



179

00:07:42.06 --> 00:07:45.07

or command shift A on a mac

to deselect the artwork.



180

00:07:45.07 --> 00:07:47.03

And just so we can see it a little better,



181

00:07:47.03 --> 00:07:51.00

go ahead and turn off the guides layer.



182

00:07:51.00 --> 00:07:53.06

And that's how you duplicate

and blend your waves



183

00:07:53.06 --> 00:07:55.09

to create this dazzling effect.



184

00:07:55.09 --> 00:07:57.07

In the next movie, we'll express it



185

00:07:57.07 --> 00:08:01.00

as a seamlessly repeating tile pattern.
