This tutorial is a good exercise to master your Blend techniques. Version: Illustrator 9+ <a href="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/file/illustrator/itune_icon.ai" target="_blank">Download Source File</a>  1. Basic shapes Start making the           basic shapes of the iTune icon. If you need help on how to trace from an image, visit my <a href="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/tutorials/tracing-photo/" target="_blank">Tracing Photo</a> tutorial. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/1.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 2. Music note Make a glossy orb by using my <a href="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/tutorials/glassy-button" target="_blank">Glossy Button</a> technique.             First, make 3 shapes from light color to dark color. Go to Object > Blend             > Blend Options, select Specified Steps = 128. Then select all 3 shapes and press Ctrl + Alt + B or go to Object > Blend > Make. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Reflection Make an oval shape and fill with black-white gradient. Make sure the black color is full black (C,M,Y,K=100). Drag it on top of the orb and select Screen Blending Mode. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/3.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Highlights Make a tall vertical rectangle and an elongate circle; then Blend it.         Duplicate it by Alt-drag to the right. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Make a 3 color gradient path. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/5.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Make another highlight using the same Blending technique as in the previous step and select Screen Blending Mode. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/6.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 3. CD Use the Gradient tool and fill the CD shapes with white-grey gradient. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/7.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Rainbow       Gradient Make some multi-color line strokes as shown below. Make sure the first and last stroke is white because it will be transparent. Use the Blend Tool (W), click on the edge of each stroke starting from left to right. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/8.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Mask Use the CD shape and mask the rainbow gradient by Ctrl+7 or Object > Clipping Mask > Make.          Then select Multiply Blending Mode and adjust the Opacity to 26%. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/9.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Repeat the previous step to make another rainbow gradient. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/10.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 4. Music note refection Make 3 oval paths, make sure the outer path is white color(this will make a glow effect). Select all 3 paths, go to Object > Blend > Make (Ctl+Alt+B). <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/11.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Drag it below the music note and select Multiply Blending Mode , 37% Opacity.         Duplicate the refection object by Alt-drag to the right side. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/12.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 5. Drop Shadow The last step is to apply a Drop Shadow effect to the CD. Select the outer CD path, go to Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow and apply the following setting: <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/13.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Final Here is the final iTune icon! <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/itune/final.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
