For example, if you have a map that uses a shape to represent a city, you can create a graphic
style that paints the shape green and adds a drop shadow. You can then use that graphic style
to paint all the city shapes on the map. If you decide to use a different color, you can change
the fill color of the graphic style to blue. All the objects that use that graphic style are then
updated to blue.
Applying an existing graphic style
You can also apply graphic styles to your artwork from graphic style libraries that come with
Illustrator. Now, you'll add a graphic style to a button in the design.
