I love the blend tool in Illustrator and wanted to keep using it to see what sort of shapes I could come up with. In Illustrator there is a way to draw a perfect spiral by using the spiral tool that is nested under the line tool. This is what I wanted to do, mess around with spirals.

The first image is simply a smaller pink circle that is blended to a larger aqua circle, and it follows the spiral path to get this consistent circle spiral. It also has a smooth transition of color, and it made me think of the spiral graph drawing tools when the circles overlap each other in that elliptical pattern.

The second image is building off of the first image, but with squares. The smaller purple square is blended to the larger orange square. So just like the first image is blends the size and colors really well, and it follows the same spiral path. But the difference is that the square is rotating along the spiral path instead of staying perfectly square like when back in the day when you got a Windows error you could drag the pop up window to get this blend tool effect where it would keep reloading when you moved it but wouldn't erase the previous window.

The third image is playing around with squares again, but blending them as if it was going upwards like a pyramid. So the smaller yellow square is being blended to the larger blue square as it twists down/up depending on how you look at it.

I wanted to keep playing with this pyramid spiralization effect so I tried it with a four point star in the fourth image. It turned out really cool with the points twisting 90° from one another along with the blend of these bright magenta and cyan colors.

Then the fifth image was like the third but with a circle instead of a square it this cool twisting happened. To me it almost reads like it isn't really twisting but more of concentric circles on top of equally spaced squares.
