Very cool way to manipulate radial gradients just uncovered this week and dealt with on the Layers Forum. No one seems to have known of it before. Check it out.

Fits well with your topic today.

Amazing Tutorials. Need More Like This.

Cory, continues to deliver such innovative ideas that stretches the mind of creative wonders. One word:WOW !

extra tutorial for designers

That’s what we need! Creative exploration! Thanks so much for all the starting points you and Dave Cross offer. It’s nice to be able to do the production aspects that the others demonstrate, but it’s the creativity explorations that got most of us into this business and open the spigot to our creative juices. You and Dave allow it to explode out of the pipeline. My mind is already going in 2 or 3 directions in thinking of ways to apply what I just saw to one of my projects.

Thank you Great!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH , this is the real IA of ADOBE.

Just started with Illustrator, but thanks to your tutorials, I look like a semi-pro.

THAK YUO VERY MUCH

This was great! I am just getting familiar with Illustrator and had no idea what the “warp” tool did. Loved it!

This is cool effect though, “blend” gradient has slower redraw.

this is great and helpful

Hey there,

Very nice one with the blend tool. But how do you apply this to lets say a round object? Pretty much work to get a rircle with the pen tool.

Greetings,

Thank you so much for your tutorials! They are such great tools to empower designers like me to bigger possibilities!

Is there any way to download this video. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a very long time. Thank you!

corelDRAW has been doing this for a LOOOONNNNNG time. its about time adobe caught on!

This was so awesome. You do a very good job at making things plain. Do you have a book published? Also, do you have a tutorial on blending photographs in this same way using Illustrator CS3, or do I have to use photoshop for this?

Very useful tutorial!
Is there also a way to make a gradient follow the shape of text? For example a letter S with the gradient bending in an s-shape?

Excellent tutorial
