Adobe Illustrator - Creating electrical current Illustrator


Expert: Amy - 6/15/2009

Question
Hi,

Is there a way to create electrical current in illustrator?  I know that look can be done in photoshop but I need it for a logo so it needs to be vector.

Answer
Hi Pam,

I guess I don't understand your question.

If you have "electrical current" already drawn in PhotoShop, you can bring it into Illustrator and use the Live Trace feature to trace it.

Or you can draw it from scratch using the pen, pencil, or brush tools.

If it's for a logo, you'll probably want to stay away from any special effects you might have used in PhotoShop (blurs, glows) because you'll have to flatten the logo in order to use it for print.

If there is a more specific question you have about how to draw something, perhaps you could send a jpeg sample?

Thanks!
Amy
