Layered Objects Using the Blend Tool in Illustrator - New or Improved Skill Day 27
I don't know why but I almost never use the blending mode, it can be a handy little tool.
You can make a shape and place another shape over the top. Select both.
Go to Object > Blend Options > Make Choices. OK. You won't see any changes until the next step.
Go to Object > Blend > Make
Now you have a nested shape with graduated colors.
Follow the same steps but choose smooth color to get a button type effect.
The color can also change. I had a red star and a yellow star: Illustrator mixed the colors.
It's a little odd looking but you can change shapes, this is a star to a triangle.
A blue square to a circle with defined distances.
Spirograph type lines. The object does not have to be solid.
