Color tweaking in Illustrator 1

[hunsnowboarder]

Hi there Everyone! I have found a site with a very nice graphic and would like to apply in one of my works. I am using Photoshop, but now I decided to learn Illustrator as well. Please someone help me and explain detailed how to get from Step 15 to Step 16. He tweaked the colors and I like it very much, but do not have a clue how to do it! Thanks for your help in advance!

You need to Expand the Object.

Have the rectangle selected. Go to Object>Expand.

Once you have that done you need to go Effects>3D>Revolve

That's Illustator CS2 and above only though for the 3d stuff

Hi eugenetyson! Thank you for your reply, but I do not mean the 3D rotation. My question was related to the colors. As you see in Step 15 the colors are like a gradient, it is lighter in the outside and gets darker towards the center of the object. But in Step 16 the gradient disappears and the colors are mixed. That is what I would like to know... How ha made it! Thank you!

You mean the gradient?

I think you should do the tutorial over.

Hi! I know the gradient. I already did the tutorialt till Step 15! But I don't know how to mix the colors. Please take a look at Step 15 and Step 16! You can see that the colors of the object are different. That is what I would like to know how he did it! Thank you!

Well it just says "Tweak the colours"

It looks like the center circle has been changed to none, and the the red was selected and made lighter.

You can select colours by
