Illustrator(AI)模仿设计出一个逼真的色彩斑澜的U盘实例教程

22. 现在绘制一个矩形，宽度同之前缩放的矩形宽度，然后填充线性渐变。这就是我们制作的U盘了。

Step 23

Zoom into the tip part and create a small square and fill it with a linear dark gray gradient. Duplicate it on top (Command + C +F) and scale it (E) slightly bigger than the original. Set the Layer Mode to Screen. This will give us an optical illusion that the tip has a metal cutout. Select both and copy them for the right side. Then create two small squares with a dark linear gradient and place them underneath the others.

23. 放大U盘的上半部，绘制一个小正方形，填充深灰色线性渐变。然后在它上面复制一个(Ctrl+C，Ctrl+F)，使用自由变换工具(E)，使它比原大小大一点。图层混合模式设置为滤色，这就使得U盘上小孔的底部有一种金属剪影的错觉感。同时选择这2个形状，然后复制它们，然后移到右边。然后绘制2个更小的正方形，填充深灰的线性渐变，然后把它们放在另2个正方形的下面。

  

Step 24

Let’s apply our tattoo style design. Place your tattoo design on top of the flash stick. Then make a copy of the bigger shape and place it on top. Select both, the shape and the tattoo and go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make (Command + 7). This will mask the tattoo design to the flash stick outline.

Set the Layer Mode to Color Dodge. Make sure that the circle shapes are on top. I placed another tattoo shape higher and applied another Clipping Mask. I set the Layer Mode to Normal.

24. 现在应用印花设计图案。把印花设计图案放在U盘的上面，然后复制一个大的矩形形状，把它放在印花设计图案的上面。同时选中这2个形状，然后执行对象菜单>剪切蒙版>建立(Ctrl+7)。这样印花设计图案就正好剪切到U盘的外观轮廓。

Step 25

Now we will create another flash stick with different colors. Select your flash stick shapes (you might want to group them). Next, open another document, and paste the shapes onto the artboard. Then open the Swatch Palette and double-click the dark gray color swatch.

Since I have the document setup in RGB, I have three color sliders. I changed them to the settings you can see in the image below. This will give me a pinkish color. Make sure that you have the Preview selected, that way while you change the color, you can see how the color is instantly applied to your shapes. I changed the cap back to black by dragging the black color swatch back onto the gradient sliders. You can choose whatever color you’d like – experiment a little.

25. 现在我们绘制另一个不同色彩的U盘。选择U盘形状(你可以把这些形状编为一组)。然后，新建文档，把U盘形状粘贴到画板上。然后打开色板调板，在深灰色色板上双击。

当我把文档设置为RGB颜色模式时，我就有了3个颜色块，我把它们更改为如下图所示的设置。按照下图的设置，你会得到一个略带桃红的颜色，确认你选中了预览。当你用这个方法更改颜色时，你会看到颜色是如何快速地被应用到了形状上。然后，恢复U盘盖子的颜色，把黑色色板拖移到渐变滑块上。你可以选择任何你喜欢的颜色-多做一些尝试。

Step 26

Lets’ create the final image. Create a rectangle in a new document or the just opened one. Fill it with a linear dark gray gradient.

26. 创建最后的图形。新建文档或者就用打开的文档，绘制一个矩形，填充深灰色线性渐变。
