Gradient Colors
Gradient colors in Adobe Illustrator allow you to create smooth transitions between two or more
colors, adding depth and a professional touch to your designs. Gradients can be applied to shapes,
text, strokes, and more.
There are different types of Gradients in Illustrator to create unique effects:
∑ Linear Gradient: A straight-line transition from one color to another.
∑ Radial Gradient: A circular transition that spreads outward from a central point.
∑ Freeform Gradient: A custom gradient where colors are placed at different points and
blended.
To apply a Gradient in Illustrator, follow the given steps:
Step 1 Click on Window Gradient to open the Gradient Panel or use the shortcut Ctrl + F9.
Step 2 Select an object (shape or text) using the Selection Tool (V) and click on the Gradient
Tool (G) in the toolbar.
Step 3 Click on the Gradient Bar to apply a default black-to-white gradient.
You may adjust the gradient type (Linear, Radial, or Freeform). You can also customise the
Gradient colors by click on the Gradient Slider at the bottom and selecting the color.
