Lesson 8. Blending Shapes and Colors
Gradient fills are graduated blends of two or more colors. You use the Gradient palette to create or modify a gradient fill. The blend tool blends the shapes and colors of objects together into a new blended object or a series of intermediate shapes.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to do the following:
Create and save gradients.
Add colors to a gradient.
Adjust the direction of a gradient blend.
Create smooth-color blends between objects.
Blend the shapes of objects in intermediate steps.
Modify a blend, including adjusting its path and changing the shape or color of the original objects.
