Symbolism tool gallery
The symbolism tools let you create and modify sets of symbol instances. You create a symbol set using the Symbol
Sprayer tool. You can then use the other symbolism tools to change the density, color, location, size, rotation,
transparency, and style of the instances in the set.
The Reshape tool adjusts
selected anchor points while
keeping the overall detail of
the path intact. The Free Transform tool (E)
scales, rotates, or skews a
selection. The Blend tool (W) creates a
series of objects blended
between the color and shape
of multiple objects.
The Warp tool (Shift+R)
molds objects with the
movement of the cursor (like
molding clay, for example). The Twirl tool creates
swirling distortions within
an object. The Pucker tool deflates an
object by moving control
points towards the cursor. The Bloat tool inflates an
object by moving control
points away from the cursor.
The Scallop tool adds
random curved details to the
outline of an object. The Crystallize tool adds
random spiked details to the
outline of an object. The Wrinkle tool adds
wrinkle-like details to the
outline of an object.
