Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode, a colorful fan diagram with overlapping shapes that blend naturally together, as well as glowing light effects, using opacity and blending modes. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The Transparency panel controls how transparent an object is and how its color blends with the object below it. This is the key to interesting overlapping effects. Draw three large overlapping circles to form a fan diagram, with pink, yellow, and light blue colors.
Step 1: Three Circles
Currently, the circle on top is completely covering the one below.
Step 2: Opacity
Open the Transparency panel. Select the top circle and lower the opacity to 60%. The object below starts to show through. 100% opacity means solid, 0% means invisible. Reset the opacity to 100%, then change the blending mode to Multiply for all three circles.
Step 3: Multiply
The overlapping shapes become darker, like stacked ink. Multiply is suitable for shadows and print effects.
Step 4: Diagram Label
Add a text label to each circle. Design, technology, and business, as well as the word innovation in the central overlapping area where all three meet. On the second artboard with a dark blue background, draw a light and several yellow-colored light circles.
Step 5: Screen for Light
Change the blending mode of the light circles to Screen. Screen makes colors brighter when overlapping, like light.
Step 6: Comparing Other Modes
Try overlay and soft light in the blending mode list to see the differences. Once you're satisfied, save and export both artboards.
Done!
Done. We've adjusted opacity, used Multiply for the fan diagram, Screen for the light effects, and tried other modes. The next module discusses strokes and brushes, starting from the Stroke panel.
