First, let's take a look at the image we'll be creating.
首先,讓我們考慮一下的形象,我們將創造。
Below is the completed illustration to see what you'll be working toward.
下面是完成的例子,看看有什麼您的工作走向。
Step 1
第1步
Create a document that is 8.5 inches by 11 inches.
創建一個文檔是8.5英寸11英寸。
Choose a typeface for the type treatment (I used Helvetica Bold) and type out what you want.
選擇字體為類型治療(我用helvetica大膽)和類型是什麼您想要。
Next, Outline the text by going to Type > Create Outlines.
其次,綱要文本,前往類型> "創建概述。
Step 2
第2步
With the text selected, create a Linear Gradient from the Gradient Panel.
與選定的文本,創建一個線性梯度從梯度小組。
Change the color of the first swatch on the Gradient Slider (left swatch) to a light green (I used these CMYK values: C=40, M=0, Y=100, and K=0).
改變顏色的第一Swatch的關於梯度滑塊(左Swatch的)一個淺綠色(我用這些的CMYK值中: C = 40 ,男= 0 ,為Y = 100 ,和K = 0 ) 。
Change the second swatch on the Gradient Slider to a darker green (C=60 M=16 Y=100 K=0).
變更第二個Swatch的關於梯度滑塊到一個較深的綠色(三= 60米= 16為Y = 100當K = 0 ) 。
Use the Gradient Tool (G) to adjust the gradient by clicking at the top of the type and dragging to the bottom of the type so the dark part is at the bottom.
使用梯度工具(七)調整梯度按一下在頂部的類型和拖延,以底部的類型,以便黑暗中的一部分,是在底部。
Step 3
第3步
Now we're going to create some leaves.
現在我們要創造一些葉片。
Start by drawing a leaf shape with the Pen Tool (P).
開始畫葉形與鋼筆工具性( P ) 。
Again, with the Pen Tool (P), draw a line that starts at the tip of leaf and ends in the middle of the bottom part of the leaf.
再次,隨著鋼筆工具( p )項,制定的路線,開始在尖葉和結束在中東的底部的一部分,葉。
After selecting the line and the leaf shape, press the Divide button in the Pathfinder Panel, located on the bottom left side of the panel.
後選擇路線和葉形,按下按鈕鴻溝,在探路小組,設於底部左邊的小組。
Ungroup (Command+Shift+G) the objects so you have two separate shapes.
取消群組(指揮+轉移+克)的物體,使你有兩個不同的形狀。
Step 4
第4步
Select both shapes and create the same colored Linear Gradient as the Text.
選擇這兩個形狀和創建相同的彩色線性梯度作為文本。
Next, select one shape and use the Gradient Tool (G) to click and drag at a 45 degree angle across the leaf half shape.
其次,選擇其中一個形狀和使用梯度工具(克)單擊並拖動在一個45度角的整個葉片形狀的一半。
Do this again for the other half of the leaf.
這樣做,這又為另一半的葉片。
Step 5
第5步
With the Pen Tool (P) draw a highlight shape on the top leaf half.
與鋼筆工具性( P )制定的一個亮點形狀對葉片頂端的一半。
Change the highlight shape to a Radial Gradient.
改變突出形成了徑向梯度。
Change the left swatch to white and the right swatch to your green color (C=40 M=0 Y=100 K=0).
改變左Swatch的白色的權利和Swatch的到您的護綠(三= 40米= 0為Y = 100當K = 0 ) 。
Step 6
第6步
With the Pen Tool (P), create a stem shape and send it behind the leaf shapes.
與鋼筆工具性( P ) ,創造一個干的形狀和發送它背後的葉片形狀。
Create a Linear Gradient, make the gradient the same colors as the leaf shapes, and adjust the gradient so the darker green is at the top of the stem.
創建一個線性梯度,使梯度相同的顏色,葉的形狀,並調整梯度,使黑暗的綠色是首要的干。
Step 7
第7步
Next come the water droplets.
下次來的水滴。
Create an oblong ellipse with the Ellipse Tool (L).
創建一個橢圓形橢圓與橢圓工具(升) 。
Then create a Linear Gradient using the same colors as the leaf and text.
然後創建一個線性梯度使用相同的顏色,葉和文字。
Adjust the gradient so the dark side is on the bottom left.
調整梯度,使黑暗的一面是對左下角。
Create another ellipse on top of the previous ellipse and create a Radial Gradient with the same swatches as the highlight gradient.
創建另一個橢圓再加上以前的橢圓形,創造一個徑向梯度具有相同swatches作為突出梯度。
Adjust this gradient so the light part of the gradient is coming from the bottom left.
調整梯度,使輕的一部分,梯度是來自左下角。
Create two more smaller ellipses with Linear Gradients matching the highlight gradient.
創建兩個更小的橢圓與線性梯度相匹配的突出梯度。
Once you are done, group all the ellipses, scale and place them on the leaf shapes.
一旦你這樣做,集團所有的省略號,規模和將它們放在葉片形狀。
You can easily copy the droplet by holding down Alt and dragging a copy.
您可以很容易地復制液滴按住ALT和拖延的副本。
Step 8
第8步
The next couple of steps deal with creating the ladybug.
未來兩步驟處理創造了瓢蟲。
Create an ellipse and fill it with a Linear Gradient.
創建一個橢圓形,填補它與線性梯度。
Make the first swatch in the gradient a red (C=0 M=100 Y=100 K=0) and the second an even darker red (C=0 M=100 Y=100 K=35).
作出的第一Swatch的,在一個紅色的梯度(三= 0米= 100為Y = 100當K = 0 )和第二次,甚至暗紅色(三= 0米= 100為Y = 100當K = 35 ) 。
Adjust the gradient so the red color is at the bottom of the ellipse.
調整梯度因此,紅顏色是在底部的橢圓。
Copy (Command + C) the ellipse and Paste it in Front (Command + F).
復制(指揮+三)橢圓形,將它貼到陣線(指揮+ f )段。
Draw another bigger ellipse that overlaps the center of the original ellipse.
提請另一個更大的橢圓重疊的中心,原來的橢圓形。
After selecting one of the original ellipses and the overlapping circle, press the Intersect Shape Areas button in the Pathfinder Panel.
之後,選擇一個,原來的橢圓和重疊的圓圈,按相交,形成地區按鈕,在探路小組。
Make the intersected shape a Linear Gradient with the first swatch white and the second swatch red.
使交叉形成一個線性梯度與第一Swatch的白色和第二Swatch的紅色。
Adjust the gradient so the white is at the top of the shape.
調整梯度,使白皮書是在頂部的形狀。
