Welcome to Deke's Techniques. … So wow, … last week, in Adobe Illustrator, … we made this thing. … It goes by a lot of names. … The impossible trident, … the devil's tuning fork, … at the top of the tool box, … I'll go ahead and click on this shape right here … in order to select it … and I want to turn this into a perpendicular gradient … in order to trace around this cylinder, … and so the first thing I'm going to do … is go up to the window menu and choose the gradient command … in order to bring up the gradient panel. … You may notice if you worked along with me last week … that I've added a couple of colors. … Color one b and color two B, … both of which are darker versions … than one a and two A, respectively, … and so what I'm going to do, is first of all, … I'm going to click inside this angle value … and I'm going to add 90 degrees … in order to send it in a perpendicular direction … and I actually decided 114 degrees was going to work … a little better, … and now I'll go ahead and take this light purple color …
