In-Depth Information
Gradient fills are graduated blends of two or more colors. Using the Gradient tool and/or the
Gradient panel, you can create or modify a gradient fill or a gradient stroke. With the Blend
tool, you can blend the shapes and colors of objects together into a new, blended object or a
series of intermediate shapes.
Getting started
You'll explore various ways to create your own color gradients and to blend colors and
shapes together using the Gradient tool, the Gradient panel, and the Blend tool.
