This lesson will teach you how to make the following symbol:

Reflective
73 posts
30 ° [ + | - ]

1. First, create a circle. Hold Shift and use the Elipse tool to draw a circle. Pick any
color in the Swatches window to color your circle.
2. Now make the circle a little smaller and place it like in the picture below. In the
picture, it is marked in bright red so that you can distinguish between them.

3. Select both circles. (to do this, using the Direct Selection tool, first click on one
circle, and then Shift-click on the other). In the Pathfinder window (if you don't have
one go to Window <Pathfinder or just Shift + F9) select the Divide option.

Right click on the selected objects, select "Ungroup". Deselect the circles and delete
all objects except the one shown below:

4. Select the resulting shape and rotate it 45 degrees clockwise. To do this easily, hold
Shift and rotate it to the left. (use the Free Transform tool)

5. Duplicate this shape twice and rotate each as above. (To copy go to Edit <Copy and
then Edit <Paste) Arrange them as in the picture below.

6. Now we make a ring. We can do it in the same way as in the 3rd point, only the
second circle must be placed not on the edge but in the center.
7. Place the ring in the center of our symbol.

8. Create another small circle in the center of the symbol (bright red in the
picture). Select the entire symbol and the small circle. Use the Divide option to make
a hole in the middle

9. Everything! Now you can use this method to create other interesting symbols.
