Note
You can drag the bottom of the Appearance panel down to see more of the
attributes.
There should now be a total of three fills applied to the number 3. Also notice that
the “Alyssa 1” is gone from the “Path” toward the top of the panel. This means
that the graphic style is no longer applied to the artwork. The number 3 will not
update if the Alyssa 1 graphic style is edited.
2. Make the following changes to the Fill attribute rows, using the figure as a guide:
Top Fill attribute row: Click the Fill color and select the pattern swatch named
“Lines.” Press the Escape key to hide the swatches.
Middle Fill attribute row: Click the Fill color and select the pattern swatch
named “Paper.” Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the same Fill row, and
click the Opacity link below the Paper fill row to show the Transparency panel.
Choose Luminosity from the Blending Mode menu. Press the Escape key to
hide the Transparency panel.
Bottom Fill attribute row: Click the Fill color and select the orange swatch
named “Festival.” Press the Escape key to hide the swatches.
The number 3 should now have a series of textures and an orange color applied to
the fill. Remember that the order of the attribute rows in the Appearance panel is
very important. This is especially important when you change the Opacity blend-
ing modes and want to blend the appearance attributes to achieve certain visual ef-
fects. Blending modes affect attribute rows below the attribute row that the blend
mode is applied to in the Appearance panel.
3. Leave the number 3 shape selected.
