random touch illustrator plugins

Plug-in 1: Background texture plug-in

Creates a background or texture set based on the selected paths or path or images or symbols (symbols can be anything such as a single line or text or a page of text or gradient meshes and gradient designs) The plugin can be used to create subtle to extreme background texture designs or more. The plug-in includes many color options, scaling features, rotation settings and distribution settings. The plugin now features additional options for modifying the creation range, drop shadows as well as creating a pattern or tiled version of the background design.

Plug-in 2: Pyramid plug-in

Creates a pyramid of selected paths or paths or images or symbols, a basic pyramid or extended pyramid or flat pyramid and many other pyramid variant designs.

Plug-in 3: Ramble Shambles plug-in

Creates a spray based on the selected path or paths. The particle plug-in also now comes with additional options for shrinking and growing the spray, tiling / patterns, color modification, and random spray directions.

Plug-in 4: Random Clutter plug-in

Creates a clutter of stars, rectangles, circular designs, thin lines and more (all the standard shapes that come with Illustrator) Great for general noise as well as dramatic effects and colorful and cheerful background designs,

Plug-in 5: Random Type plug-in (for AI 10 only)

Randomizes text in a variety of ways such as random sizing or shifts or colors or random fonts as well as blurring text, overlapping text, scrunching text, creating text up a hill, text fading away and more text effects. The plug-in is currently only available for Illustrator 10.

Plug-ins and text

The random type plugin works in 10 only. The text tool can be used to create stunning randomized text designs, changing the color of the text, the opacity of the text, the shift, the size, the scaling of the individual characters and much more. The plugin is great for creating stunning ransom notes etc. The other plugins also use the text in AI 10 as well, creating particle effects using text. In Adobe Illustrator CS1 and CS2, the easiest way around the lack of text handling is to convert the text into a symbol (symbols can be used)

Images and symbols

The plugins can be used with basic paths or a single path or compound paths but the plugins can also be used with placed images. Either open an image and apply or use the place image command and then apply (another alternative, convert the image to text). You can't alter the image but re-size etc is available in some cases. If you convert the image into a symbol, you can always use the replace command at a later stage, changing the image to something else.

Randomization

The plugins comes with a vast range of randomization features such as color fill / stroke designs and more. The plug-ins all come with a 'tumble' button and that randomizes all the settings in the plug-ins between the extremes. If you are looking for inspiration or just want to try out a vast range of different designs using the selected paths, click the tumble button. The more selected paths or complex designs, the slower the tumble button will respond, especially if it selects to create 600 copies of a particular design. Many of the settings can be 'set' to a particular value and not randomized allowing a greater control of the final design

Patterns and tiles

The background + ramble/spray + random clutter plug-ins also feature tiling / patterns. Select a path, apply the plug-in, and create a tile (this can then be defined as a pattern for future use). The tiling option creates three additional copies of the paths and designs in the 'three opposite corners' (the center being based on the document center). Many interesting designs can be created by using the basic pattern feature (in future versions this will be extended to include additional 'center' points)

Shadow

The background and random clutter and pyramid plug-ins now also include a drop shadow feature. The drop shadow can be colored as original fill color, opacity added, direction randomized and more. The drop shadow features adds depth to the illustration as well as creating abstract and weird designs.

Plug-in Presets

The plug-ins all come with a dropdown offering a selection of pre-built settings or presets. These are useful when you first start using the plug-in set, displaying some of the possible settings (out of millions available). The presets will probably vary on each use as the plug-ins generally all involve randomization.
