In this Three Minutes Max video, Nigel French shows off a fun Illustrator tip for creating an abstract mosaic from a photo. He uses the Create Object Mosaic to get a grid of squares, then releases and manipulates those squares to circles. Lastly, Nigel opens Recolor Artwork and changes the overall look of his finished mosaic.
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.
