Reflecting objects
When you
reflect
an object, Illustrator flips the object across an invisible vertical or
horizontal axis. In a similar way to scaling and rotating, when you reflect an object, you
either designate the reference point or use the object's center point, by default.
Next, you'll move content onto an artboard and use the Reflect tool to flip it 90° across the
vertical axis and copy it.
