How to Create a Fancy Gift Bow using Adobe Illustrator In this tutorial you will learn how to create a realistic image of a gift bow using the Mesh Tool. With many uses including greeting cards, designs and even web banners, I'm sure you'll find many uses for this fancy ribbon. You will also learn many helpful tips on how to use the gradient mesh to make conical gradients. First, determine the colors that you're going to use. Using the Rectangle Tool (M) create the shape of ribbon with a linear gradient fill. Create the upper edge of the ribbon. Create the shadow from the ribbon. Select the two rectangles and go to Object > Blend > Make. Group up all the objects and keep them selected, go to Object > Transform > Rotate, set 45 degrees in the dialogue box. Let us proceed to the bow elements. Now our task is to transform the linear gradient into a conical one. As a result of this operation we have a group containing two objects: the Clipping Mask and the Mesh. Make the handles of vertical curves (on the mesh) straight.
Make GIFS in Premiere Pro — Premiere Gal Premiere has yet to include a .GIF export option in the export settings. So, you first need to export your GIF creation as a .MP4 file from Premiere Pro. But then you can download free software that converts your .MP4 into a .GIF format. If you want to add your GIF to Instagram, you need to use the .MP4 file, as Instagram does not accept the .GIF format. In the video tutorial, I used GIFROCKET (free software) to convert my .MP4 GIF into a .GIF file format, but GIFROCKET only available for Macs. KickMyGraphics 2.0 (for windows)Zamzar (Online converter, can be used on MAC or PC)Instagiffer (MAC & PC) With these tools you can also upload any type of video clip to make a a short video GIF, just like the standard GIFS you find in the GIPHY database (e.g. people clapping). I hope you found this info useful and if you did, be sure to give me a tip on my Patreon page.

Cool Typography with the Blend Tool in Illustrator I have written some Illustrator tutorials in which I've used the Blend Tool to create swirls and other shapes, but I have never used it to create a text effect. Then we received this email suggestion from one of our readers quite a few months ago asking us how to create that effect. I really like the text effect and decided to give it a try. So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a text effect using the Blend Tool in Illustrator and then we will use Photoshop for some final retouches to make the effect more subtle. The technique is very simple and it won't take more than 30 minutes to achieve the same effect. Step 1 Open Illustrator and create a new document. With the Pen Tool (P) create a Z with just a few points. Step 2 Duplicate the Z and move it down a little bit. Step 3 Select the Blend Tool (W), then click on one of the segments and then on the other to create the blend object. Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Apply the Blend Tool (W) for the letters E. Step 8 Step 9 Conclusion

How to Create a Digital Doodled Snowflake in Adobe Illustrator Much of my childhood included hours spent cutting out odd shapes from folded pieces of paper and unfolding them to reveal the weirdest snowflakes I could imagine. Join me in Adobe Illustrator for a fun twist on this classic craft project. Draw a large circle (mine is eight inches in diameter for printing purposes) with the Ellipse Tool (L), fill set to null, Stroke Weight 1pt. Using the Line Segment Tool (\) to dissect the circle vertically. Add a new layer. I find it easiest to keep track of everything if the guidelines are on one layer, the sketch on another, and the art layer between the two. I'm using my initial sketch as a general guide for this part. Continue doodling the snowflake design. Group together your Blob Brush sketches. As you create shapes with the Pen Tool, adjust anchor points with the Direct Selection Tool (A) so curves are rounded and edges are smooth, rather than sharp or rigid. Start by drawing around the section with the Pen Tool.
