Buttons

I've made a set of buttons using AI so that I can easily use them for my designs...



Steps of making a button:

- Draw the shape - color it
- Make a copy of it then resize and put it on top of the 1st shape
- Choose both and use 'Object > Blend' to blend the color for making the depth of the button
- Draw another shape, apply gradient on it then choose the Screen mode Transparency and put it on top to make the glossy effect.

Particularly those are the steps, but depending on how you like the button to be, you can make a whole lot of buttons. And sometimes you may find your button looks really cool ^__^ (I really love the red button in my set)
