Let Jose show you how to use your Illustrator art to create SWF animations. http://tc.eserver.org/25428.html http://tc.eserver.org/25428.html It's the subtle transitions in color that give the illusion of three dimensions in two-dimensional artwork. Gradients are used to simulate light hitting a curved or angular surface. The gradual blending from one color to another is the key. Linear and radial gradients can be used effectively to show flat and rounded shapes, but Illustrator's gradient meshes are best for creating complex shapes. http://tc.eserver.org/25429.html http://tc.eserver.org/25429.html Layers can be a big help in keeping your files organized and your work flow moving along. Plus, the benefit of being able to go back and edit a file quickly is huge when a deadline is looming over your shoulder. http://tc.eserver.org/25426.html http://tc.eserver.org/25426.html The purpose of the 'Save For Web' dialog is to allow you to tweak optimization settings for web file formats and show you how those settings will affect your artwork.

Try adding patterns and textures to your work. http://tc.eserver.org/21950.html http://tc.eserver.org/21950.html I know, I know, Illustrator is a drawing program - but its text-handling features can be handy, too. Here's a guide to using them. http://tc.eserver.org/21907.html http://tc.eserver.org/21907.html For years, the desktop-publishing landscape has been characterized by sharp boundaries - PC vs. Mac, vector vs. bitmap, page-layout vs. illustration, and so on.
