To make this piece unique, I first created the pattern or symbol that is present in the forefront, off-center towards the top-right of the page. To create this symbol I used multiple circles with no fill while using the "Charcoal" style of Brush definition on the stroke for each. In the center of this symbol I have two triangles with the very same brush definition, one of a larger size and opposite vertical orientation than the other. I then used the Blend Tool to fuse the two triangles together in a sort of triangular spiral that creates both depth and character for the shape. To add depth to the central symbol I copied and pasted the entire symbol itself, then changed each consecutive line to a lighter shade of grey than the darker one placed above it. I then copied the central triangular shape in the center of the symbol that I described above, and then enlarged the shape whilst tilting it as well. This created a sort of triangular spiral around the symbol, leading your eye towards the focal point. Then, set behind the central symbol I used the same technique of copy and paste to create depth on a background splatter looking design, which was created using a singular circle, the "Charcoal" style of Brush definition, and a very high stroke count. The resulting splatter effect creates a background for the central symbol, as well as creating movement and eliminating blank space. Then, coming towards the focal point, are three lines of a single "Grunge" brush setting of varying stroke sizing, leading your eye through the page to the focal point. Set as the background and border for the piece is a fairly complex shape created using the Blend Tool between four collective lines. The resulting latter of lines then twisted and turned to create a three dimensional effect that was then added to the background to remove blank space and add definition to the piece.
