Create a copy of the image/pattern composite and rasterize into one merged image (decrease the resolution as necessary to “blur” the jagged edges). Areas that are black in the image should peek through the blank in-between spaces in the geometric pattern to create the effect (though you may still see a few jagged line width changes depending on the amount of space between your vector pattern tiles).Ĭlean and smooth out any jagged changes in line thickness. Convert the traced BW image to vector, set the image layer below the pattern in the order, and align the layers as you see fit. Paste in the image and set the image trace tool to black and white/silhouette. Insert your image into your AI project and perform an image trace. You could convert to bitmap or use other techniques here if you prefer, but creating the high contrast version of your image is essential. Open in Photoshop, convert to grayscale, blow out the contrast/levels so it’s pretty much just a two tone image, then bring into illustrator and use image trace. The thinness of this blank space will determine how subtle you want your hidden image to appear.Ĭonvert your desired hidden image to a two-tone/high-contrast BW image. If necessary, you can create the pattern first, then use the Pathfinder tool to cut out an off-colored line stroke from between the tiles. Create your desired geometric pattern, using white fill and black stroke (could be this tri-shape above or any other repeating vector… see this account’s other posts for inspiration), but instead of butting each corner/side of your vector pattern up against its adjacent “tile,” leave a very thin amount of blank space around each one. I had the same question and with some experimentation figured out the process I believe they use (or at the very least, produces the same result).Ĭreate your BW vector pattern in AI. ![]() U/BrockSart is super close, but it’s not done by manually adjusting line widths! Probably between 4-6 different thicknesses should be enough to get a subtle gradient effect. and then ya keep doing this for the rest of the image. Now choose a location that's between dark grey and full black on your photo, adjusting the line thickness of the geometry under that to be less than your max thickness setting. Repeat for all other near black/dark areas. Take note of what you set it to, and set that as your max thickness. Now back on your geometry layer.analyze the shadows/darkness on the photo, and wherever there's near black, select the geometric object underneath that section of image and crank up the line thickness. Then place it on a seperate layer, above your repeating geometry, and turn down the opacity 33%-66%. Potentially even reducing the image down to 4-6 colors so you can visibly see the transition between light/shadows. Now at this point I would take whatever photo you want to use, turn it to greyscale, boost up the brightness and contrast. Now select all, then group it, then align it all to center both vertically and horizontally. ![]() ![]() Then copy, paste, transform again until canvas is covered vertically. Select everything, then do the same steps above - just dragging downwards to create the next two rows. Repeat until screen is covered horizontally (extend it out past your canvas borders) Now just hit 'ctrl+c'(copy), then ctrl+f(paste infront), then ctrl+d (transform again). Select both, then hold alt while dragging them to the right until it creates the next set of links. This would be fun! Just need to create that 'triangle'ish' shape once, all uniform line thickness - group it, then duplicate and drag it aprox 45 degrees down until it links with the first group.
