Dear team,

 

I am looking to recreate the following infographic:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took a stab at it and was able to make something as follows. However, the issue that i am facing is with the trianagles (with the rounded tips) that go around the circle. They don't look right. I tried to do that with the rotate tool, but the symmetry is all messed up. I don't have the orginal Illustrator file for this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was wondering if you could please guide me on the right workflow for the same.

 

Thanks!

 

Correct answer kphotopage

Here are the screenshots how I recreated that info graphic.

Everything is centered around that exterior red circle.

 

Getting started

Create your shape, shown in brown.

Draw a circle, Shown in green so you can see. (Yours will have a Stroke color None)

Center your shape within that green circle.

Group the green circle and shape.

 

Next:

Effects>Transform.

Give it an angle of 51.428 with 6 copies.

(360/7=51.428)

Expand Transform

 

Next:

Draw some stroked concentric circles

Select all, Object>Live Paint. Recolor as you wish.

Expand Live Paint.

Pathfinders>Unite same colors.

Group all your art elements

 

Type:

Draw two stroke concentric circles.

Scissor cut.

Type on Path. Paste your type on each line.

Group your text, centered once again inside that green stroke circle

Apply the same Transform on your text.

Expand Transform.

All text is still live.

 

That’s it.

29632062lql3, Hi.

 

Fun to do! 😁

I’ll post screenshots later of how I created this.

For the most part, I used Effects>Transform.

The text is Type on a Path.

    Try this: https://youtu.be/kpLpzirI73k

    What you cannot see in the video: when clicking with the rotate tool, press the Alt key while doing so.

    In order to create those inner (red in your case) parts of those triangles, draw another circle and then use the shapebuilder tool.
