17.
12. Create a new background layer and place it at the bottom of your layer stack. 13. Using the rectangle tool draw a rectangle that covers your entire artboard. 14. Choose a gradient from the swatches panel to simulate the horizon. 15. If you do not have a gradient that you like you may open one form the (16.) swatches library drop down. 17. This is the gradient panel that allows you to edit the appearance of your gradient.
18-19
18.19.
18. Change the angle of the gradient to 90 degrees from (19.) the dropdown
RADIAL GRADIENTS, TRANSPARENCY & THE APPEARANCE PANEL:
20. Turn off the layer to make it easier to see what you are working on. 21. Add a radial gradient fill to the hexagonal panel.

DIRECT TRANSFORMATION AND FINISHING TOUCHES:115. 116.
117.118.
115. On the background layer draw a rectangle that would be the edge of a building behind the space and use the (116.) appearance panel to layer in effects to give it a quality that you are looking for. 117. Use the reflect tool to make a mirror image of that rectangle and align it next to it (118.)
119. 120.
121.
119. Add a blur effect to the background layer as the object in it are in the distance and behind a few layers of obscuring material (120.). Continue to add as many touches as you want until you get to your desired image (121.)
SETTING UP ARTBOARDS & LAYOUTS:122. 123.
124.
122. Create a new file. 123. In the new document window you may create a standard size or any custom size artboard that you want. 124. Your new file will open and have only 1 layer, rename it grids or guides.
127
125. 126.
128.
125. Create 3 layer to go above the grid/guide layer. 126. Using the rectangle tool draw a box from corner to corner of your artboard on the grid/guide layer. 127. Using the transform panel adjust the size of the box to be 1" smaller in both the width and height. 128. Now go to the dropdown menu from objet and select path. split into grid.
SETTING UP ARTBOARDS & LAYOUTS:129.
