color to the next, and is identied by a square below the gradient slider. To

change the color of a gradient stop, drag a color from the Color panel or the

Swatches panel onto it. e squares display the color assigned to each stop. With

a radial gradient, the lemost gradient stop denes the center point’s color ll,

which radiates outward to the color of the rightmost gradient stop.

Once you create or modify a gradient, save it as a swatch by clicking the New

Swatch button in the Swatches panel. Alternatively, drag the gradient from the

Gradient panel or Tools panel to the Swatches panel.

Using symbols

Working with symbols is similar to working with graphic elements in a

FreeHand Library. A symbol is an art object that you can reuse in a document.

For example, if you create a symbol from a leaf, you can then add instances of

that symbol multiple times to your artwork without adding the complex art

itself. Each symbol instance is linked to the master symbol in the Symbols panel

or a symbols library. Using symbols saves you time and greatly reduces le size.

You can make a symbol from any kind of vector, raster, or type object in your

document or use Illustrator’s built-in Symbols library. To create a symbol, drag

and drop a graphic element into the Symbols panel.

Aer you place a symbol on the artboard, you can edit the symbol’s instances

and, if you want, redene the original symbol. To edit a symbol and access its

paths, double-click on a instance of it, and you will be in isolation mode. Make

the necessary changes, and then double-click to exit isolation mode (or use

the navigation at the top of the artboard), and all instances of that symbol are

The symbolism tools let you add and manipulate multiple

symbol instances at once. Using the symbolism tools, you can

spray, shift, scrunch, size, spin, stain, screen, or style symbols

using styles from the Graphics Styles panel.
