Easter eggs are hidden program features purposely included by the software programmers. They often reveal secret screens and messages. Here's one to reveal birthday cakes in Adobe Illustrator 8 and up.
Time Required: N/A
Here's How:
- Open Illustrator.
- If the Brushes Palette is not displayed, show it from the Window menu.
- Click the New Brush button on the brushes palette.
- Select New Calligraphic Brush and click OK.
- Set Angle to 5°.
- Set Roundness to 26%.
- Set Diameter to 56 pt.
- The brush preview changes to birthday cakes!
Tips:
- Set the three drop down menus to random and move the variation sliders to rotate, scale and angle the cakes.
- Diameter of 56 must be typed in. You can't choose it from the slider.
- I wonder who's birthday is on May 26, 1956... hmmmm?
