3 THE ADDICTIVE STEP
AND REPEAT TRICK
With this technique,
you can create
flowing shapes and
unexpected designs in
seconds. To begin, make
a new layer, then either
add a simple shape, paint
something or make a quick
cutout, like we did with the
feather here. Next, press
Cmd/Ctrl+T to transform
it. Now make a few tiny
adjustments – rotate the
layer very slightly, try
resizing it a smidge, and
nudge the position slightly.
Press Return to apply, then
press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Alt+T
to ‘step and repeat’. This
copies the layer and applies
the same transformation
again and again. Once
you’re happy with your
shape, group the layers and
copy elsewhere like this to
build up the effect.
