We’re going to explore the Offset Path function and the Shaper tool in Adobe Illustrator and see how they can help us quickly create all kinds of shapes, from the simple to the complex. It’s a great bit of fun and extremely helpful for all of us as we build our artwork and designs from basic shapes.

🧠 The basic shape in this design was inspired by and stolen from this app: apps.apple.com/us/app/spectre-camera/id1450074595
