- Illustrator tutorial: Create a Vector Sunburst Quickly and Easily
Learn to create a vector sunburst in Illustrator. This technique works with all versions of Illustrator including CS6, CC, CC2014 & CC2015.
The process is simple and uses a stroke to make the sunburst - it is quick and doesn't require a lot of fiddling to create. It is easy enough for even a beginning Illustrator user to make. You don't have to do any math or any rotation just make a circle, add a dashed stroke and you're almost done.
If you like, when you are done, you can then add a retro effect with a texture or crop the image so the sunburst isn't in the middle of the image any longer.

thanks for a great tutorial! I just want to add a tip about the process at 1:50. In case the option to "align dashes to corners and path ends" is greyed out/unselectable like it was for me, just change the "align stroke" option above that to be centered, rather than inside or outside the path, and then it should work.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I did a video more recently explaining that the align stroke option was critical to some things functioning or not. I am sure your comment will help others.
I just pinned your comment ❤️
oh wow you saved my dashed lines
Thank you for making this video over seven years ago. This was so much easier than anything else I found.
Great to hear!
I've been in art school for 5 years and still feel like I'm only scratching the surface. You've taught me techniques enough to warrant their own class fee, so thank you for sharing your gifts in this way.
Chocean, I am so glad you found my channel and that the videos are helping you.
Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
@@HelenBradley I agree with @chlocean. I saw this technique just now and I exclaimed out loud (in my quiet office environment - oops)! This is such an elegant solution to something I need to do often! Thank you so much for sharing this.
@@--roz1436 That is so funny! I am so happy that you enjoyed the video and thank you for your comment - they are always so appreciated but seldom funny like this one (more is the pity).
I can't believe how easy that is! Thank you for such clear instructions!
By far this is the easiest, most accurate and most complete tutorial to create the sunburst effect. Congratulations.
Thank you for the kind words and for stopping by my channel.
Thank you so much for making this! I keep coming back to this despite having found it several years ago. If the method slips my mind, all I have to do is watch a little of this video and them I'm like "Ooooooooh yeah! That's how you do it."
Liam I’m so glad that this video is so helpful to you and that you’re able to find it every time that you need it. Best of luck with making your sunbursts. Cheers! Helen
Thank you Helen!! I appreciate your time and efforts to teach this.

@@HelenBradley Definitely! Super fun!
Oh! And if you duplicate the effect layer, change the color of the fill and rotate just a little, you can have two colors!
That was very helpful. I've been making these for years and doing it the long way. Thanks for that time saving tip!

Lindo tutorial, muchas gracias!
Nice tutorial, thank you Helen!
Thank you for stopping by my channel.
Great tutorial! Fast and simple. Thanks!
Thank you for stopping by my channel.
Good tut.Super helpful. One thing I might mention though. Instead of doing the pathfinder, you could select the rectangle and the sunburst and set it to a clipping mask. That way you still have control if you wanted to move the rectangle position after the fact. Object>Clipping Mask>Make for those that would like to try that option out.
Yes you’re totally right there. Thank you for adding this comment to the conversation. Using a clipping mask will give you the ability to move the shape later on and it’s probably, these days, the approach that I would take.
Thank you so much Helen Bradley
Easy to follow and done :)
Jenn Li Thank you for stopping by my channel Jenn. BTW I love your "hello kitty" image!
Omg that is sooo easy! Why didn't I think of creating my sunburst this way? Lol I was trying to do it using the perspective grid tool. Ha ha. I like the way you have your tools on the right along with all the panel menus. That should make it quicker to work. I think I'm going to change my workspace like that. It will take a little bit of getting use to but worth it. Thanks!
I stole that panel look from someone else so we are passing it forward. It took me a little time to get used to it too but it sooooo works for me now. Good luck with it and share the goodness with someone else in future.
fast and direct to the point!
Paolo Ibayan Thanks Paolo!
Really helped a lot, thanks!
That is the EASIEST way to create a burst! our Show's logo has a burst and it's always been a chore. Now I can zip them out in no time. Thanks!
Awesome news Jerry, thank you for stopping by my channel.
This is the easiest and quickest way to make a starburst and to size it according to the document size we need. Thank you!
