Gradients aren’t just decoration—they’re design powerhouses. In this course, you’ll go beyond flat fills to discover how gradients create depth, movement, and emotion in your artwork. Starting with the basics, you’ll learn how to apply and adjust gradients inside Illustrator, experimenting with stops, angles, and blends. Then you’ll build your own gradient libraries, customizing styles and applying them consistently across projects. Finally, you’ll explore advanced effects—blending modes, gradient meshes, and expressive techniques that push your designs further. Through hands-on practice, you’ll see how gradients transform simple shapes into dynamic visuals that feel polished and professional. By the end, you’ll have the skills to use Illustrator’s gradient tools with confidence, creating artwork that goes beyond ordinary color and leaves a lasting impression.e.g. This is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates interested in engineering or science, along with high school students and professionals with an interest in programming.
