The symbol sprayer tool in Illustrator is baffling at first – but it is the tool to use to create interesting random patterns and textures.

Lately I’ve been thinking of new ways to deliver tutorials which are small and quick- and I have decided to call them “cute-tutes”.

This is part 1 of my 2 part Tutorial, creating a logo in illustrator using the Pathfinder.

In this mini tutorial you will learn the bare bones basics of the pen tool. This is the hardest tool to get used to in Illustrator and Photoshop, but it’s really worth persevering with it.
