Spiral designs

You can create in seconds the following type of spirals

Additional notes

1. Spiral basics Creates a basic spiral design as an initial start point but the decay of the spiral, gap between arms, number of arms, curvature can be changed via the main panel. And that is only the start

 

2. Spiral presets Comes with over 50 superb presets to help you get started with the plugin as well as inspire

 

3. Spiral experimentation The plugin comes with a large range of spiral experimentation features for randomization of curvature, points, angle, scaling, color of spiral and more. Simply click the TUMBLE button to generate 1000s and 1000s of different spiral designs ranging from the basic to the truly extreme and abstract

 

4. Sketch features The spiral plugin comes with a number of sketch features adding in sketch weight, sketch randomness and jitter as well as a whole range of sketchy colorful spiral designs

 

5. Shadow features The spiral plugin comes with a large selection of shadow features to add a drop shadows, randomized opacity shadows, colored shadows and more

 

6. Pattern features The plugin can work in a 'tile' pattern mode where multiple spirals are generated taking into account the sketch / shadow etc and creating 100s and 100s of different spiral design patterns. The patterns can then be saved and used as a standard pattern in Illustrator ®

 

7. Spirals as paths The spiral is a path and the generated spiral can be used as a path as any path, used to add text, used in warps, used as a design element, exported to Photoshop and much more

 

8. Spiral backgrounds The spiral plugin can generate a background of different spiral designs quickly and easy, each with a random color, design or uniform spiral designs and more

 

9. Abstract spirals The spiral plugin can be used to create a basic spiral but the spiral features can be used to create paint designs, abstract art and much more. Truly wow art designs, totally unique and wow.

 

10. Different spirals Using different spiral structures as well as star features and spiral curvature settings, many 1000s of different spiral designs can be created.

 

11. Offset features The spirals can be created as an offset of the original, creating a spiral calligraphic design

 

12. Spirals and effects The spirals can also have styles applied to them, creating 3D spiral designs or scribbled spirals or gradient filled spirals and much more. The plugin can also randomize the spiral style as well

 

13. Easy to use The plugin is split over multiple panels. The key panel is the front panel but the other panels include the offset, color features, curvature, randomness and much more and can be explored (via the presets) quickly. The spiral plugin set comes with manual/documentation explaining the plugin controls.

 

14. Gap structures The plugin can be set to create spirals without a decay. The spiral is modified by the gap setting creating even ringed spirals as well as even / alternating spirals + random gap spirals and many more (via spiral structures dropdown)
