Create a RECTANGLE with a LINEAR GRADIENT
Adjust the COLOR of the GRADIENT by selecting new colors
Use the APPEARANCE window to add a NEW FILL to your shape
Again, use the APPEARANCE window to change the FILL
Use TEXTURE GRAIN Change the BLENDING MODE MULTIPLY
Add a NEW FILL RADIAL GRADIENT, a White to Transparent gradient
Change the BLENDING MODE to OVERLAY
Add TEXT and remove the STROKE/FILL, then from APPEARANCE NEW FILL
Add a LINEAR GRADIENT Experiment with FILLS, TEXTURES, and BLENDING MODES
Experiment with EFFECTS like DROP SHADOW, GLOW etc.

Create a set of solid SHAPES Create negative space SHAPES Add more negative space shapes to fill out the final form
Use the PEN TOOL and TRANSFORM TOOLS to finish the shape
Create additional shapes using positive and negative space
Use the PEN TOOL and different BRUSH SETTINGS to create embellishments
Use different WEIGHTED brushes to finalize the embellishments
Use the pen tool to create more shapes and add a GRADIENT OR MESH
BEND, TRANSFORM and WARP the gradients to fit the shapes
Repeat the first SEVEN steps to create a complimentary graphic
Repeat the steps for creating a GRADIENT or MESH
Place the pieces together to create a strong composition and harmony

Create an “empty” text (no fill/stroke) and then add a NEW FILL GRADIENT
From APPEARANCE use TRANSFORM EFFECT to create an OFFSET PATH
Repeat the last step and create a darker colored OFFSET PATH (shadow)
Repeat the last step and use a lighter colored OFFSET PATH (outline)
Repeat the last step and create a new OFFSET PATH off centered (highlights)
Repeat the last step and create an outline around the whole graphic
Repeat the last step for a bolder outline Repeat the last step and create an off centered OFFSET PATH (bevel)
Use STYLIZE DROP SHADOW Repeat the last step for other FILL LAYERS (text itself, not the outline)
Finalize with EFFECTS Experiment with colors, overlays and textures
