Retro Triangle Pattern Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

[ad_1]
In today’s Adobe Illustrator video tutorial we’re going to use Illustrator’s powerful vector tools to make a retro style triangle pattern, which seamlessly repeats a series of randomly coloured shapes to cover an infinite area. Being vector artwork means the result is crisp and sharp, and can even be resized and re-coloured to suit different applications, all without affecting the overall quality as it would a pixel based pattern.

    I followed this method and the triangles do not fit in each other seamlessly. If you zoom in the tips always pop out a little even though i make sure to use shift when making the shape. I check the lines using CTRL Y and they dont intersect at every edge.
    I also tried making triangles using a hexagon and drawing a horizontal line, copying it and rotating it by 60 degrees to make the triangles and i still get the same problem.
    Any advice please?

    Hello there mate, I have a wierd kind of issue with crop tool, after I crop the pattern to match the rectangle size it leaves this wierd kind of bar at the bottom like on this picture http://prnt.sc/dpevx2 which kinda ruins the entire vertical of the patern, do you maybe know how to remove that bar?
    Btw thanks for the video guide, it's amazing 🙂

    The triangles' sides don't snap to each other, yet I have smart guides on. What is happening?

  21. Matthew Avatar

    Thanks for your tutorials.

    Tip: Color the triangles with File > Scripts > Random Swatch Fill and then clean up by hand.

    Hey Chris! In case you didn't know, you can use the eyedropper tool on colors in a window outside illustrator so you don't have to take a screenshot! Never stop making videos <3
