Nettle&Thornes Exfoliating Facial Rub... In progress...



...Any tips on tilting a gradient on Illustrator?! (For lid top...) I also need to work out how to wrap the text around. I am currently using a flat shape rather than forming it from an isometric doodah thingamie wotsit-a-tee-jig.

1 - In your Gradient palette (make sure it is set to Show Options), select linear and then simply set the angle of the gradient.

2 - Select the Gradient tool and drag a line much as you would in Photoshop on the object that already has the gradient applied to it.

For wrapping the text, select the text objects and make them a Symbol.

Next, create a basic circle.

Go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel and play with the settings until you have a shape that looks like your pot.

Click the Map Art button and select the correct surface. Select the Symbol from the drop-down. Move and scale as appropriate.

OK all of that.

You may now have a Cylinder with the art mapped on it but Simply go to Object > Expand Appearance and then delete the extraneous objects from the group in the Layers palette.
