Painting reflections onto letterforms

- [Narrator] In this movie,…I'll show you how to paint reflections…onto your display type.…Namely, we're going to create these highlights…across the top and the bottom of the letter forms.…Alright, so I'll go ahead…and switch over to my document in progress,…and I'll click on the text with the black arrow tool…to select it.…And then I'll make sure my Appearance panel…is up on screen, in which case…I'll drop down to the Add New Fill icon,…in the bottom left corner of the panel,…and click on it.…Alright now, for whatever reason,…the fill came up orange.…That's most certainly not what I want.…I want a gradient.…

And so I'll go to the Window menu,…and choose the Gradient command,…to bring up the Gradient panel,…and I'll go ahead and expand the contents…of the panel as well.…And then, with the fill active,…I'll click on the gradient slider,…in order to apply by default…a linear gradient to my text.…Now I do want the type to be set to linear,…but I want the angle to be 90 degrees.…So I might as well go ahead and change that right now.…
