Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 447 Wrapping a gradient around a circle in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland,…welcome to Deke's Techniques, this week…we're going to do something that's completely…and utterly impossible inside Illustrator.…We're going to create a gradient…of colors going around a circle.…Now, if this were Photoshop, this would be…called an angle gradient, but there is…no such thing in Illustrator, in Illustrator we only have…linear and radial gradients and that's it,…So how in the world do we accomplish this?…What form of sorcerer's magic…are we going to employ this time?…Well, none as it turns out, we're going to use a stroke.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…
Alright, here's that color diagram…that I created inside of Illustrator,…just so you have a chance to see it on screen.…And notice once again, that we have…what amounts to a very colorful gradient…that's wrapping around the outside of the circle.…Now, if we working inside of Photoshop,…this would be called an angle gradient…but here inside Illustrator it's not called anything at all…because technically it doesn't exist.…
