So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a rad pattern in
Illustrator that will definitely make you dizzy. We will use basic
tools such as Rectangle Tool, Ellipse Tool and the Blend Tool.
Step 1
Open Illustrator and with the
Ellipse Tool (L) create a circle. Use black for the Stroke.

Step 2
With the
Direct Selection Tool (A) select and delete 3 segments of the circle, leave just the bottom right one.

Step 3
Duplicate the segment and the rotate it. Use the image below for reference. With the
Direct Selection Tool (A) select the 2 vertices and then click on
Connect Selected End Points. Choose
Corner for the the
Join Points option.

Step 5
Again with the
Direct Selection Tool (A) move the points in the middle of the object. The idea is to make the area of the object a bit thicker.

Step 6
Fill the object with black and remove the stroke. After that
duplicate and flip the object horizontally. Position them like in the
image below.

Step 7
Duplicate a few times and group them. Then duplicate the group and move it down at the bottom of the page. With the
Blend Tool (B) select the first group and then click on the group at the bottom. Double click on the
Blend Tool (B) icon to open the Blend Options. Change the
Spacing to Specified Steps to 55. You will have the texture done.

#394A5F.

Copy the Blend objects from the other document and paste in this
one. Duplicate it untill you feel the whole screen with the texture.
Also fill them with white.

Conclusion
Using basic tools in Illustrator and an old paper texture we can
create very nice patterns with that vintage feel, in this case we have
even created a crazy optical illusion. This tutorial as I said was
inspired by skateboard deck design from the Element team and It's great
to practice with Illustrator.
