Position this duplicate to the left, overlapping the other elements slightly. Shift and click both lines with the Move tool, then drag another copy by holding the ALT key. Move this duplicate line to form a triangle shape by snapping the two upper points together. Go to Object > Transform > Reflect, check the Vertical option then hit the Copy button. Follow it upwards, then draw a diagonal line back down to the horizontal path. Make sure you have Smart Guides enabled from under the View menu, then use the pink tooltip to find the centre of the line. Select both shapes and centre them up vertically using the Align panel. Hold the Shift key to keep the line straight. Switch over to the Line tool and draw a path that intersects the circle. These settings won’t be visible on this circle shape, but the same line style will also be used for all the subsequent paths we’re going to draw. Also check the Round Cap and Round Corner options. In the Stroke panel, increase the stroke weight to around 5pt to beef up the line. Remove the default white fill, leaving just a black stroke.
Begin by drawing a circle on the artboard. Open Adobe Illustrator and create a new document, the sizing doesn’t matter because the vector artwork can be scaled to any size, but you might want to turn off Scale Strokes and Effects in Illustrator’s Preferences panel to retain the same stroke weight when the artwork is scaled, at while you’re constructing your artwork. The layout is then composed into a circular badge with the addition of arced text and decorative light rays.
It features minimalist illustrations of mountains, a camp site and a lake, all made of paths with a single stroke weight.
The artwork I’ll be creating in this tutorial is a badge style line art logo design with a camping theme. Subscribe to the Spoon Graphics YouTube Channel
