Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode: a set of button styles with normal, hover, and inactive states, saved as graphic styles and applied with one click. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Graphic styles are saved collections of appearance attributes, fill, stroke, effects, and opacity. Similar to paragraph styles in word processors, but for object styles.
Step 1: Creating a Button Style
Draw a rounded-corner button. Apply a linear blue gradient, a thin dark blue stroke, and a soft drop shadow. This is the appearance of the normal button.
Step 2: Saving Graphic Style
Open the graphic styles panel. With the button selected, click New Graphic Style and name it Normal Button. The style is saved as a preview box in the panel.
Step 3: Applying to Other Objects
Draw two other boxes with different shapes. Select both and click the Normal Button style. All attributes, including gradients and shadows, are applied instantly.
Step 4: Hover Style
Duplicate the first button, change its gradient to a brighter blue and raise the shadow. Save it as a new style named Hover Button.
Step 5: Inactive Style
Create a third style with a gray fill, no shadow, and 50% opacity. Save it as Inactive Button. Apply it to the last button.
Step 6: Labels and Export
Add text labels to each button. Save and export. This file can serve as a style guide for the development team.
Done!
Done. We've created button styles, saved them as graphic styles, applied them to other objects, and made hover and inactive variations. In the next episode, we'll use repeating objects for radial patterns, grids, and mirrors. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographic, or print and social media materials?
