  Help with a Groovy background

  Could someone help with a twirl technique similar to the background in the linked photo below?

  I’m getting close, but not quite. I start with vertical stripes in alternating colors, then apply Effect>Distort>Polar Coordinates. Next I apply Distort>Twirl.

  I’m close but not quite – any hints on setting up the vertical lines so that the “pinched” lines (after Polar coordinates) are uniform?

  PS. Just noticed that this was a combined Illustrator/Photoshop forum (first post here – hi everyone!)

  The question above was a Photoshop CS2 question – Thanks!
