Vysionk, hi. Cross Hatch has so many different renderings and so many different interruptions. Shown here, I created a Pattern brush Wanted a more hand crafted, “organic feel” (No biggie, Pencil and Stroke options) Applied Graphic Style to all. (Made seamless pattern brush) Maybe you like???? Just putting this out as a different Illustrator construction option. K

For turning a photo or text into a Halftone tone pattern, vector dots. Many ways. Ton gave you one way. Fast forward….., now you want to turn the various size dots (Circles) into triangles. Scripts is definitely the way to go. I first created a Symbol. Here I tested 3 scripts. All worked Special thank you and praise to Illustrator Script writers. K

I agree with Ton, type on a path and Archimedian Spiral is the way to go. For Archimedean Spirals, my go to is using Inkscape. You have more control over how many turns to make. For this particular graphic, the script Archimedian Spiral did not have enough turns. Here I used 20 turns. Scissor cut the inside and delete. The only tricky part about this graphic was getting text to read left to right, starting from the outside going inward. To do this, I resized the spiral to fit the LP record. I also changed the direction of the path. Lastly, I changed the path to Text on a path. K

Ayako, hi. Would you be interested in something like this?? Here I am working with strokes and a gradient. It gives you somewhat a 3D look. It’s 3 paths, cut like Tina’s example. Apply gradient across stoke. K

As always, there are many ways of doing things with Adobe. Here is what I did 1pt stokes: Here I first drew a large circle. Another inside circle. Then a center line. Align. The tri lines are rotated from center. Angle 120. I used Effects>Transform. Increased stroke weights. Outline Strokes. Did Transform. Expand Transform. Live Paint. Expand live paint. Center live Text. Group.Rotate Hope that helps. Took me maybe 15 minutes. K

Muhammad, these badges were created by using Type on a Path as Monica mentioned. For the stars, I simply used ITC Zapf Dingbats. Check your Glyphs panel. Many fonts have extra goodies. K

Gautam, Hi. Here I played with Blend Steps, 4pt circles. Blend Steps of 238 gives you 240 dots. Then I replaced Spine with the stroke shape. Notice there is NO distoration of "Dots". It' still a 4pt circles. You can expand the Blend Steps and tweak the circles postiton Dots, if you wish. K

Ton, I played this same idea long ago. I created many wacky variable widths. I labeled them 01, 02, 03, etc It really created many wonderful designs, with just a single stroke, it created various size dots and no overlaps. K

Hendy,is this what you had in mind??? Here I am working with Live Type. With your Text Tool, set your type and give it a Fill color. Switch to your Selection Tool (black arrow). Effect>Stylize>Inner Glow. Change Mode to Multiply and give it a dark color. You will see in your Appearance Panel, Inner Glow Fx has been added. K

Personally, I have never had much luck with Blends when there were not matching number of anchors. Here is another method to recreate if anyone is interested. I started with a rectangle. Then Object>Path>Offset. I used 10pt I gave that new rectangle corner radius of 6pt Again Object>Path>Offset. That gave me 6 closed paths. Group. Next, Line tool, create 6 vertical lines, 10pt spacing. Group. Rotate that group angle 45 Put together, Rectangles and rotated Group. Then Object>Live Paint, Strokes. I random color as I work. Expand Live Paint and Ungroup Object>Select same Stroke color and Object>Path>Join. Do for each color Lastly, (White arrow) I select the corner anchor at that miter, and gave it a radius. I used 30,24,18,12 and 6pt. This gives the appearance of a blend. Fun to do. K

Another day, another cup of coffee.😀 This is how I recreated your design to fit a perfect hexagon. I made bands of fill colors. Group Duplicate and rotate 60 Duplicated and rotated -60 I then aligned and resized each to fit that hexagon Next Live Paint. Then expand Live Paint and Pathfinders>Unite same colors. K

Personally, I like your original design better. Good luck making your negative space and positive space equal and then fit into the hexagon perfectly. K

Basant Mishra, Hi. True, grids are everything. For your given vector shape to fit exactly into a hexagon shape, hmm, there a problem here. Here I have a seamless hexagon pattern. Hexagon is compromised of equilateral triangles. I did Live Paint, following your design. No problem I thought. So I redid. COUNT your triangles! As you can see, there is a gaping negative space but now fits into a true hexagon shape. K

Alexandra, just a thought, are the downloaded patterns actual Pattern Swatches? Here I created 4 shapes and filled with a color. I duplicated and manually filled with 4 different Pattern Swatches. If I took the original shape and selected, then switched to the eyedropper tool and sampled the shape with Pattern Swatch, it does pickup the pattern and not just the color. K

Doug, I see what you mean. When I expanded the pattern brush, all those circles were not true circles. Just slightly off. To correct, I ungrouped and applied script JET_ReplaceWithSymbol. Break Link to Symbol if want. All shapes are true circles. Closed path, 4pts K

Wesley, hi I random color as I work. To recreate, I used a Blend. 3 circles. I used Blend Steps 21 Expand Blend Steps and ungroup. Align Panel: I used Distribute Spacing of 0. Group your circles. Make your overall art nouveau shape circles. See that purple stroke, I know that size 595.546 pt. Next, I made a Pattern Brush that same size. Then I applied the Pattern Brush that purple stroke. K

Mark, as always there are many ways of doing things. I’m working with Live Type, Text on a path. I’m not quite sure of your end goal. Getting started. Concentric circles. The outside measures 32mm Live Paint. Fills and Strokes. Expand Live Paint. Unite same colors for Tabs. The center stroke is for Text on Path. Round the corners on your Tabs Text on Path. Be sure to Type>Type on Path Options, Align to Center. K

Julie, I'm very happy I could help. I often times use visual files/ getting started files to help. Not Expanded, very flexible. I have a very large collection of files, all custom made. (20+years) Saved as Illustrator templates, .ait. No need to keep reinventing the wheel! 😀 Depending upon the task, what to use. K
