dragged the photo to the far left “tile space”of the shell pattern brush. Checking that
her settings were still correct, she clicked OK. After applying the brush to a
rectangle to form a frame, she didn't like the position of the photo. To figure out how
to reposition the shell, she used the frame on the artboard as a reference and
positioned a copy of the masked shell photo over the original corner of the frame,
rotating it into the desired position. Holding down the Option/Alt key, Steuer
dragged the rotated shell onto the previous corner tile in the Brushes panel,
retaining the other options.
To make pattern brush variations, she worked with duplicates of the original pattern
brush, changing the Stroke weight in the Control panel and playing with different
colorization methods in Brushes Options. To apply the color to vector objects of the
pattern brush, she changed the Stroke color. To apply a shadow to the frame she
selected Stroke in the Appearance panel, clicked on the fx icon, then selected
Stylize> Drop Shadow. Some of the color and scale experiments are shown Steuer
border variations .
