This tutorial shows you how to make hi-tech style abstract background with Illustrator Blend Tool. Very cool and simple! Version: Illustrator 9+ <a href="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/file/illustrator/abstract_background.ai" target="_blank">Download Source File</a>  1. Gradient background Create a rectangular path and fill it with blue gradient. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/1.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 2. Screen gradient paths Create another path with Blue-Black gradient and select Screen Blending Mode. This will create a lighter blue gradient shade. If your color setting is CMYK, make sure the black is full black (C,M,Y,K=100).         The red arrow on the image is the direction of the gradient fill. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Repeat the previous step to create another Screen gradient path. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/3.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 3. Abstract wave Make 2 white stroke paths. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />4. Blend Tool Go to Object > Blend > Blend Options, enter Specified Steps = 20. Then with the 2 strokes selected, go to Object > Blend > Make or press Ctrl+Alt+B. This will blend 2 white strokes and create an abstract wave effect. If you want to change the Blend step, you can go to Object > Blend > Blend Options or double click the Blend Tool(B) on the tool bar. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/5.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 5. Change stroke color Use Direct Selection Tool (A), select one of strokes and change it to blue stroke color. Notice how 2 strokes blend from blue to white. Isn’t this cool? <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/6.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 6. Wild blend Now go wild with your Pen tool, create 2 wavy strokes and blend them.          Play around with the Blend step, stroke weight and color. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/7.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Repeat the steps and create the last abstract blend, from blue to purple. Final Your image should look like something below: <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/final.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Abstract Desktop Wallpaper Now you can use this abstract image for your desktop wallpaper.  Download this <a href="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/wallpapers/2" target="_blank">abstract background</a> for your desktop wallpaper. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/8.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/abstract_bg/abstract-wallpaper.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
