Plug-in symbols

Symbols are a great way of creating in Illustrator. It is a store for nearly all types of path and path combinations as well as images and more. Useful for creating multiple instances with little overhead. Symbols can be modified at any point in the creative process. Symbols can be used in other area of Illustrator

 

Symbols are all accessed via the symbols palette, load libraries of symbols and select via the symbols palette

Symbols can be

3D designs

Brushes

Clipping masks

Combinations

It is very easy to create your own symbols for use with the plug-in i.e. simply select some text or an image and drag into the symbols palette. If you wish to fill the document with letters, remove all the current symbols and drag text, ordered or random text into the symbols palette and apply the plug-in

Illustrator Native symbols

Effects and symbols

Use in combo with the wonderful 3D effects or sketches styles in CS or CS2 or CS3 and beyond

Animations

Great for animations

Initial size and symbols

The symbols have a set size and initial angle, the plugin can set the symbol initial size and angle (though this is not any particular use if one of the symbols is 20 times the size of another as all the symbols are reduced in size. The symbol headline tool works best if all the symbols are the same size. There is no particular easy way of doing this via the palette, other than re-creating the symbol and reducing or increasing the size or changing the angle.

Placements

The plugin defaults to displaying the symbols in all the slots of the headline.So if 10 symbols are requested, 10 symbols are slotted in at 20pt gaps by default. If you wish to have a random placement or perhaps 2 symbols gap 2 symbols gap, the placement option needs to be set. The placement also controls the randomization of the symbols so perhaps more symbols than gaps are created or just 50-50

Symbols order

If there is more than one symbol in the symbols palette, symbols are either selected in an ordered manner from the symbols palette or picked randomly depending on the options set on the dialog. For example - display ABCDEFGHIJK or AHDDIJBHJKE etc
