Create spirals

The bottom of the business card has a row of spirals similar to the spirals that make up the steam from the coffee cup in the Coffee Shop logo. You will create spirals using the Spiral tool; however, the resulting spirals will be symmetrical. To make them asymmetrical, you will use the Shape tool to manipulate the shape of the spirals. You will apply an Artistic media effect to the spiral to modify them further. Finally, you will color the spiral.

To draw spirals

1. Open the Object flyout , and click the Spiral tool .
2. From the Spiral revolutions box on the property bar, choose 2.
3. On the property bar, click the Symmetrical spirals button .
4. Drag diagonally in the document window until the spiral is approximately 1/4 the height of the business card. You can resize the spirals later if necessary.
5. Repeat step four, dragging diagonally to both the right and the left, until you have seven spirals of varying sizes and directions.
6. Using the Pick tool, drag the spirals into position across the bottom of the business card.
