@Linzi R,

No problem. Exactly what part are you stuck on? Have you added the gradient mesh?

If so, then select the mesh and use the “Direct Selection Tool” (hotkey a, it’s the white arrow) to select individual points on the mesh. For each area of the mesh you want to be darkened, make that point a darker shade of grey (using swatches or your normal color palette).

Let me know what else I can do to help.

“Now we’re going to begin adding color to individual points on our mesh. Anywhere you want to darken (in my case the bottom left side of the logo) should be assigned darker shades.”

I’m sorry - I’m stuck at this point, could you please expand on this instruction?

Well, I came here for the tutorial, because I think it’s a beautiful logo regardless of what the others here think. But, even though (Penny) he’s not qualified to be President, even though (Mark) you don’t see much from him, even though (Dan) he may be a socialist, he’s President-Elect! And by the way, “you people”, you can thank Mr. Bush for the sad state the economy is in, a bonafide Republican! Yes He Did! We need a tutorial for that!

Let us leave Mark be. Just click his name; as Kevin L. said it takes you to his website. Read a few of his blog posts and you will that he is punished enough by living in his own skin day to day.

So sad to live with so much hate. I will pray that the burden of the unreasoning hate you carry with you is lifted Mark.

Blessed Be

What now Mark? I guess a minimum of 4 years, for you to whine on tutorial blogs.

Its sad that this country only has the two candidates (Obama and McCain) for people to vote on. Neither are qualified to be President…but having no other choices…I will vote for McCain. When a candidate doesn’t respect our flag..and makes a logo of his own…its very very sad for us all. What’s next?? Changing our National Athem??? After all..”bombs bursting in air”..and all that? We certainly don’t want to be seen as “siding” with our own country!!!

Bah Humbug.

What’s a “socialtist”?

I’d ALSO like to point out that if you click on Mark’s name, you are taken to his webpage; beneath his name is a quote which reads ““Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions.”

That’s enough for me.

I’d also like to quickly amend my comment– saying Obama “has won the election” isn’t fair. I should have said “It appears he will win.”
