    There is no pattern on the object so that shouldn’t matter too much. make sure only the object you are rotating is selected. Also be sure to set the point of rotation using the alt key. otherwise you’ll just be rotating on the spot.

    Hello, I cannot use the rotation thing, when I want to use it, I’ve noticed that “object” is check but “pattern” isn’t check, so it doesn’t work for me 🙁

    nice design, but you were missing some hortcuts, that could save time

    The green lines are just the document outline – essentially file > new > ok
    The blue lines are just guides. to make guides bring up your page ruler (crtl r) then just hover your mouse over them, click and hold, drag out a guide and release in desired location

    Thanks! I was thinking about following this tutorial up with a quick Photoshop one on adding a bit of depth to it and textures, keep an eye out over the coming week.

    I might look at doing basics in the future but for now I like making more creative tutorials.

    Great tutorial! i’m a beginner and this was very eye opening. Do you have any photoshop or illustrator tips for if I wanted to make this a bit more realistic in adding textures, etc?

    Also, have you thought about putting up an Illustrator Basics Tutorial for beginners?
