    Scrolls and Flourishes

    Bryan Elwood Community Member

      I'm going to take a chance that this is an Illustrator-related question.  Over the past year, I have noticed countless scrolls and flourishes in advertisements and on products.  I am referring to spiraling vine-like drawings that contain paisleys, berries, leaves and blossoms.  I see variations of these things everywhere nowadays, and to me, they appear to be algorithmically generated by some sort of scroll-producing software.  I know artist drew these things by hand in the past, but the consistent fractal-like precision that I see in everyday examples leads me to suspect that there might be a piece of software for creating such designs.  Does anyone know if there is such a plugin for Illustrator?  Otherwise, is there another illustration package that interactively generates such artwork?

      Thanks!
