Meshes

A mesh object is a multicolored object on which colors can flow in different directions and 

transition smoothly from one point to another. When you create a mesh object, multiple lines 

called mesh lines crisscross the object and provide a way to easily manipulate color 

transitions on the object. By moving and editing points on the mesh lines, you can change the 

intensity of a color shift, or change the extent of a colored area on the object.

Example : Sony Ericson Logo, Coco Cola Soft drink – 7UP red globe.

You can change the appearance of any object, group, or layer in Adobe Illustrator by using effects and the Appearance and Graphic Styles panels. In addition, you can divide an object into its essential parts to modify elements of the object independently.

Create a drop shadow: -Select an object or group (or target a layer in the Layers panel).

                                         Choose Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow.

                                         Set options for the drop shadow, and click OK:

• Mode :- Specifies a blending mode for the drop shadow.
• Opacity :- Specifies the percentage of opacity you want for the drop shadow.
• X Offset and Y Offset :- Specifies the distance you want the drop shadow to be offset from the object.
• Blur :- Specifies the distance from the edge of the shadow where you want any blurring to occur.Illustrator creates a transparent raster object to simulate the blur.
• Color :- Specifies a color for the shadow.
• Darkness Specifies the percentage of black you want added for the drop shadow. In a CMYK document, a value of 100%, used with a selected object that contains a fill or stroke color other than black, creates a multicolored black shadow. A value of 100% used with a selected object that contains only a black fill or stroke creates a 100% black shadow. A value of 0% creates a drop shadow the color of the selected object.
