How to create Glossy Button

Posting kali ini saya nak berkongsi tentang bagaimana nak buat glossy button.Ya sememangnya ramai designer suka dengan teknik ini. Ianya mudah dan senang difahami. Saya pun sering menggunakan teknik ini dan ia fleksibel kerana senang untuk diubah mengikut kehendak kita. Walaupun tutorial ini dalam bahasa Inggeris tapi ia mudah difahami.So Enjoy!! 

Create the Circle Shapes

1. First create a circle path and fill it with orange color. Then Copy (Ctrl+C) it and Paste in FrontCtrl+F). Scale down about 40% and drag it slight below the center point of the orange circle. (

2. Blend Tool

Select the Blend Tool, click on the top edge of the yellow circle and then click again on the top edge of the orange circle. Or you can blend them by selecting both circles, go to Object > Blend > MakeCtrl+Alt+B). (

3. Add Final Light Reflection

Make an oval path and fill it with black & white Gradient and place it on top of the circles. Note if your color setting is CMYK, make sure the black for the gradient is full black(C=100, M=100, Y=100, K=100). With the oval path selected, go to Transparency pallate, select Screen Blend Mode. If your Transparency is not showing, go to Window > Transparency or press Ctrl+Shift+F10.
