Create shapes (clipped masks) based on symmetrical and Preset Shapes or even vector text objects–or convert already existing vector objects and text into shapes–all with an enhanced Frame Tool. Then, fill shapes with images, patterns, or colors to achieve certain effects–surrealistic, avant-garde, playful, or any other.
