I am trying to create an effect like this one in Illustrator, but I haven't been able to achieve a great result. I would really appreciate a little help, even if it is just the name of the effect. Also, if it is easier in another tool like photoshop, please let me know.
I have mostly tried a combination of the blend and warp tools. I haven't had any other ideas, or any luck googling.
On a gradient square background, draw an irregular closed shape with no fill and a thin stroke. My shape has a small feather effect.
Double click on the Rotate Tool > 1º > Copy
Duplicate until getting the first wheel > select all the vectors and group them.
Add another wheel group, the image is just a rotated duplication
Create a second similar shape but thicker, on the image has an outer glow effect the same color as the stroke.
Make the same duplicating process but less repetitions
Make three aleatory rotate/duplicate of the thick wheel, select all the wheels and reduce the opacity.
:)I kind of know the technique so I have a better idea about search words, that's all. I know it's a blend of lines.. so.. that makes search results far more relevant. Your image would probably use a bit of both of those duplicates. – Scott May 11 '18 at 20:37
