Pathfinder

Pathfinder Tool

In Adobe Illustrator there are thousands of tools and tabs to choose from. Pathfinder is an option, and I chose to read over and test a tutorial posted on the internet. Over these few steps, I found out how to divide, outline, combine and move shapes. In this example above, I combined 2 circles and a rectangle. Once I combined and outlined the shapes, I pulled apart the circles to give it the affect it has.
