How to Create a Fancy Gift Bow using Adobe Illustrator

• Sep 20, 2010 from envato(Envato) in *
  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, Im sure youll 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. Lets get started!
  
  
  Step 1
  First, determine the colors that youre going to use. All the colors will match the numbers, which I will use in screenshots and further description. I use a light red color # 1 (C = 2, M = 83, Y = 73 and K = 0) as the basic one. I used two colors to reproduce the highlights of the bow: pink # 2 (C = 5, M = 64, Y = 52 and K = 0), pale pink # 3 (C = 0, M = 20, Y = 23 and K = 0). I used four colors to reproduce the shadows: dark red # 4 (C = 20, M = 95, Y = 91 and K = 12); light brown # 5 (C = 30, M = 88, Y = 83 and K = 30), brown # 6 (C = 30, M = 92, Y = 91 and K = 38); brown # 7 (C = 33, M = 93, Y = 87 and K = 46). I used two colors to reproduce deep shadows on the inner part of the ribbon: dark brown # 8 (C = 37, M = 90, Y = 82 and K = 58) and dark brown # 8 (C = 44, M = 83, Y = 76 and K = 68). Move all the colors that you will work with to the Swatches palette one after another from the lightest color to darkest one.
  
  
  Step 2
  Using the Rectangle Tool (M) create the shape of ribbon with a linear gradient fill. The figure shows the numbers of the colors.
  
  
  Step 3
  Create the upper edge of the ribbon. Copy the created rectangle and paste it behind (Command + C then Command + B). Change the fill color of the new rectangle to a dark brown # 9, and shift the rectangle a little vertically up. To edit the color and rectangle location, it will be easier to select it in the Layer palette.
  
  
  Step 4
  Create the shadow from the ribbon. Copy the rectangle with the gradient and paste it behind (Command + C, Command + B). Change the fill color to dark grey. Copy this rectangle and paste it behind (Command + C then Command + B), now shift the copy down a bit and change the Opacity to 0% in the Transparency palette.
  
  Select the two rectangles and go to Object > Blend > Make.
  
  
  Step 5
  Group up all the objects and keep them selected, go to Object > Transform > Rotate, set 45 degrees in the dialogue box.
  
  
  Step 6
  
  Let us proceed to the bow elements. The ribbon curves represent a conical surface. Take the Pen Tool (P) and create a trapezoid-like shape, fill it with a linear gradient.
  
  Now our task is to transform the linear gradient into a conical one. Select the object and go to Object > Expand, choose the Gradient Mesh in the dialogue box.
  
  As a result of this operation we have a group containing two objects: the Clipping Mask and the Mesh. In order not to deform the mask, lock the sub-layer with the Clipping Mask, and proceed to editing the gradient mesh.
  
  
  Step 7
  Move the upper points of the mesh horizontally closer to the center of the figure (hold Shift). The handles of the anchor points should not overlap, otherwise you will not get a smooth transition of color (overlapping of the anchor point handles)
  
  
  
  While moving the anchor points make sure that mesh lines do not override the outlines of the figure.
  
  
  Step 8
  Make the handles of vertical curves (on the mesh) straight.
  
  
  
  The transition smoothness can be adjusted by moving the horizontal handles of the anchor points. The overlapping of the adjacent handles can prevent a smooth transition. This overlapping is hard to notice once the anchor points are very close to each other, even at a very large scale. The anchor point needs to be shifted up at the place of torn transition and then it will be easy to see the overlapping one, adjust the length of the anchor point handle and move it back to its place.
  
  To edit the gradient mesh, you may also need the Convert anchor point Tool. This tool can remove and add shoulders to the anchor points of the mesh. After several minutes of editing I have this conical gradient.
  
  
  Step 9
  Now create the inner surface of the ribbon. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and create an ellipse, fill it with a linear gradient.
  
  
  Step 10
  Lets take a look at the elements of the bow. Reflections on the bends of the ribbon may have sharp edges. The shape of such reflections can be created with the help of the Pen Tool (P) and fill them with a solid color or gradient. Now drag the created object into the group of edited element of the bow in the Layers palette.
  
  Create the illusion of thickness on the edge of the ribbon. Use the technique described in step 2. The lower ellipse can be filled with a solid color or linear gradient picking colors from the Swatches palette.
  
  
  Step 11
  Build eight more similar elements of the bow and place them circle-wise as shown in the figure below.
  
  
  Step 12
  Take the Pen Tool (P) and create the straight-line portion of the ribbon. Fill this shape with a linear gradient.
  
  
  Step 13
  Now create the inner part of the straight-line portion of the ribbon with the help of the Pen Tool...

Marc Bolan

• Sep 22, 2010 from pixelstoreus(PIXELSTORE.US) in Technology
  Marc Bolan
  Biography
  Early life and career
  The son of a lorry driver, Bolan grew up in post-war Hackney, East London, amongst a Jewish family, and later lived in Wimbledon, southwest London. He fell in love with the rock and roll of Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Arthur Crudup and Chuck Berry[citation needed] at an early age and became a Mod, hanging around coffee bars such as the 2 Is in Soho. He appeared in an episode of the television show Orlando as a Mod extra.
  At the age of nine, Bolan was given his first guitar and began a skiffle band shortly after, and at fifteen, he left school by mutual consent.
  Plaque marking Marc Bolans childhood home, 25 Stoke Newington Common, Hackney. (November 2005)
  He briefly joined a modelling agency and became a John Temple Boy, appearing in a clothing catalogue for the menswear store. He was used as a model for their suits in their catalogues as well as a model for cardboard cut-outs to be displayed in shop windows. TOWN Magazine featured him as an early example of the Mod movement in a photo spread with a couple of other faces.
  Marc Feld had changed his name to Toby Tyler when he met and moved in with child actor Allan Warren, who was to become his first manager. Warren saw Toby Tylers potential whilst Toby spent hours sitting cross-legged on Warrens floor playing his acoustic guitar. Warren then took him to the photographer Michael McGrath and commissioned a series of photographs. Warren then hired a recording studio and had Bolans first acetates cut. One track being the Bob Dylan song Blowing in the wind. Also a version of Betty Everetts Youre No Good which was later submitted to EMI for a test screening but they turned down the then Toby Tyler. Warren later sold Marcs contract and recordings for 200.00 to his landlord, property mogul David Kirch, in lieu of three months back rent. Kirch was far too busy with his property empire to do anything for him. A year or so later, Marcs mother pushed into Kirchs office and shouted at him that he had done nothing for her son. She demand he tear up the contract and willingly he complied.
  The tapes produced during the Toby Tyler recording session vanished from thought and mind for over twenty-five years before resurfacing in 1991 and selling for nearly eight thousand dollars. Their eventual release on CD in 1993 made available the earliest of Marcs known recordings.
  After changing his name again to Marc Bolan (via Mark Bowland) while with Decca Records he released his first single The Wizard. In early 1967 Manager Simon Napier Bell added him to the Pop-Art/mod band Johns Children, which achieved some success as a live band but sold few records. A Johns Children single written by Marc Bolan called Desdemona was banned by the BBC for its line lift up your skirt and fly. His tenure with the band was brief. Bolan claimed to have spent time with a wizard in Paris who allegedly gave him secret knowledge and could levitate. The time spent with him was often alluded to but remained mythical; in reality the wizard was probably U.S. actor Riggs OHara with whom Bolan made a trip to Paris in 1965. His songwriting took off and he began writing many of the neo-romantic songs that would appear on his first albums with Tyrannosaurus Rex.
  Besides Berry, Bolans influences included Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett, Cliff Richard and Elvis Presley.
  Tyrannosaurus Rex
  When Johns Children collapsed (amongst other problems, the band were stunned to discover their equipment had been stolen from a studio, according to a Bolan biographer), Bolan and Steve Peregrine Took created Tyrannosaurus Rex, a psychedelic-folk rock acoustic group, playing Bolans songs, with Took playing assorted hand and kit percussion and occasional bass to Bolans acoustic guitars and voice.
  This version of Tyrannosaurus Rex released four albums and four singles, flirting with the charts, getting as high as number fifteen and getting airplay and support from Radio 1 DJ John Peel. One of the highlights of this era was playing at the first free Hyde Park concert in 1968. Drug-taking and free spirited Took was fired from the group after their first American tour. A rock and roller at heart, Bolan began bringing amplified guitar lines into the duos music, buying a vintage Gibson Les Paul guitar (later featured on the cover of the album T. Rex in 1970). After replacing Took with Mickey Finn, he let the electric influences come forward even further on A Beard of Stars, the final album to be credited to Tyrannosaurus Rex. It closed with a song, Elemental Child, featuring a long electric guitar break influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
  Then Bolan, by now married to his girlfriend June Child (a former secretary to the manager of another of his heroes, Syd Barrett), shortened the groups name to T.Rex and wrote and recorded Ride a White Swan, dominated by a rolling, hand clapping back-beat, Bolans electric guitar and Finns percussion.
