: Sound waves dots design I was looking for a way of creating a wave pattern design with dots (smaller and bigger), building an acoustical panel home. Would be very grateful in case someone has

@Nimeshi706

Forget that photo.. you won't get "round" dots when it's transformed. There will always be some inconsistency due to the original angle of the photo (there's curvature in photos too). Instead create your own pattern. You've tagged the question with Adobe Illustrator. So, I assume you have that available......

The basics in Illustrator....


Draw a dashed line with a width profile
Copy the line and change the stroke weight, then move it to the back
Copy the line again, change the stroke weight and move it to the front
Select all 3 lines and choose Object > Expand Appearance
Choose Object > Blend > Make
Choose Object > Blend > Blend Options and adjust to your liking
Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Warp and apply an envelope to bend things...


Large (kb) gif, it may take a moment...



You need to Expand Appearance in order to "bake in " the width profile. Otherwise the blend may be a bit "wonky", at least in Illustrator CS6. It may be better in Illustrator CC, I didn't bother testing (prefer to work in CS6).

These are merely basic steps. You undoubtedly will need to tweak and alter for your own use case.
