In this “Three Minutes Max” Illustrator video, Chana Messer creates a color swatch palette quickly from an image. Using the magic of the Object Mosaic feature, she easily samples dozens of swatches from a photo. Chana then adds an effect to the swatches on the artboard to add visual interest to the colorful palette.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
