Step 1

Open a new document, and create a rectangle with the following dimensions W: 160px H: 550px, apply a10px stroke and no fill. With the rectangle still selected, go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel and enter thefollowing settings: Specify rotation around the X axis: -9, Specify rotation around the Y axis:-40, Specifyrotation around the Z axis: 6, Perspective: 20, Extrude Depth: 180pt, click OK.

Step 2

Keep the shape selected and correct the lower right point using the Direct Selection tool (A). It shouldlook the same as the picture below, use a Ruler Guide if you need help lining up the points.

Step 3

After correcting the lower point, go to Object > Expand Appearance and ungoup the newly created groupby going to Object > Ungroup (Shift + Control + G).

Step 4

Select all the shapes and fill them with the color R:95 G:43 B:47, select the bottom shape with the DirectSelection tool (D) and copy and paste in place ( Control + C followed by Control + F). Fill the copiedshape with a Linear Gradient from black to white and change the Blending Mode from Normal to Multiply.

Step 5

Repeat the same action on all of the other shapes, except for the duplicate of the top shape, which will becolored white with an Opacity of 40%. The image below is what the Layer palette should look like whenyoure finished.

Step 6

Create lines as shown in the image below with the Pen Tool (P), once the lines are drawn apply a 0,1pxwhite Tapered Stroke. Have a look at the picture below.

Step 7

Create a W: 160px by H: 550px filed rectangle with no stroke. After we apply 3D effect well change thecolors. Keep the rectangle selected and go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel and enter the followingsettings: Specify rotation around the X axis:-9, Specify rotation around the Y axis:40, Specify rotationaround the Z axis: -6, Perspective: 20, Extrude Depth: 50pt, click OK.

Step 8

With the 3D rectangle still selected, go to Object > Expand Appearance then Object > Ungroup (Shift +Control + G).

Step 9

Select the shape shown in the picture below and send it behind all of the other shapes by going to Object> Arrange > Send to Back. Copy the shape you sent behind the other shapes using Control + C followedby Control + F, move the copy above all other shapes using Object > Arrange > Bring To Front (Shift +Control + Right Square Bracket). Turn off the Fill color and apply a 10px stroke aligned to the inside.

Step 10

With the stroke still selected, go to Object > Expand Appearance and fill with a Linear Gradient consisting

of the colors. R:129 G:43 B:5 to R:95 G:43 B:47.


6/13

Step 11

Select the original shape that is behind all the other shapes, change its color to black, then copy it usingControl + C followed by Control +F. Change the Fill color to R:77 G:77 B:77 and go to Effect > Texture >

Grain. Enter the following settings: Intensity: 100, Contrast: 100, Grain Type: Enlarged, click OK andchange the Blending Mode from Normal to Luminosity.

Step 12

Copy the shape from Step 11 using Control + C followed by Control + F, open the Appearance panel(Shift + F6) and remove the effect you applied in Step 11.


7/13

Step 13

With the shape still selected, turn off the Fill color and apply a 12px Black Stroke, aligned to the inside.

Step 14

Select the right side of the boxs lid. Copy it using Control + C followed by Control + F, fill the copy with aBlack to White Linear Gradient and change the Blending Mode from Normal to Multiply. Copy the bottompart of the lid using Control + C followed by Control +F, fill it with white and reduce the Opacity to 50%.


8/13

Step 15

Create lines like the one shown in the picture below using the Pen tool (P) and apply a 0,1 px whiteTapered Stroke.

Step 16

Create a W: 6px by H: 10px rectangle and fill with Linear Gradient. To do this, open the Gradient panel(Control + F9). You will need four Gradient Sliders. For the first one from left to right apply white, for the

second one R:77 G:77 B:77, for the third one black and for the fourth one R:241 G:204 B:168. Copy therectangle, move the copy a few pixels down, open the Gradient panel and click on the Reverse Gradientbutton. Copy the shape two more times, move the copies a few pixels down and click the ReverseGradient button for each one.


9/13

Step 17

Select the four rectangles from the previous step and group them (Object > Group).

Step 18

Move the shapes into position as shown in the picture below, then copy the shapes and move them to thebottom part of the lid and box.


10/13

Step 19

Create a W: 40px by H: 40px square and go to Effect > Stylize > Round Corners, apply a radius of 10px,click OK. With the shape selected go to Object > Expand Appearance.

Step 20

Now create a taller rectangle over the previous shape, (as shown in the picture below) open thePathfinder panel and click on the Minus Front button. Move the shape into position as shown in thepicture below.


11/13

Step 21

Add three more points with the Add Anchor Point tool (+) as shown in the picture below. Create a Cshape with the middle point by sliding it inwards, fill the shape with a Linear Gradient the same as thepicture below.

Step 22

Create a square under the previous shape and fill it with Linear Gradient as shown in the picture below.Create two ellipses in positions as shown in the picture below, fill them with a Linear Gradient from whiteto yellow and group all the shapes youve created since Step 19 (Object > Group).


12/13

Step 23

Copy the group created in the previous step (Control + C followed by Control + F), flip it horizontally andmove it into position as shown in the picture below. Alter the shape by dragging the middle right pointinwards with the Selection Tool (V). Repeat this with the other shapes, have a look at the picture below.

Step 24

In the next steps we will create the bottle of wine. To do this, create half a bottle shape with the Pen tool(P), Ive used the image below for a reference. Before you apply a 3D effect to the bottle, create a label ina design you like and drag it into the Symbol panel.


13/13

Step 25

Select the bottle shape and go to Effect > 3D > Revolve, enter the following settings: Specify rotationaround the X axis: -9, Specify rotation around the Y axis:-40, Specify rotation around the Z axis: 6, Angle:360, Offset: 0pt, from: Right Edge, click on the Map Art button and apply the symbol you created earlier.

Step 26

Position the bottle inside the box, and your gift set is done. To finish the illustration you can add abackground and table surface or even a few extra objects, Ive added a corkscrew. I hope youve enjoyedthis tut.
