Mastering the art of smooth transitions with Adobe Illustrator blends

How to Work with Blended Objects | Adobe Illustrator · 4:27 · Video: Howcast · Watch at the source

In short: Learn how to seamlessly transition between multiple shapes and colors. This tutorial demonstrates how to manipulate blended objects to create fluid, curved paths while maintaining precise control over their orientation.

The video demonstrates the process of blending two or more objects on an artboard, whether you are transitioning between different shapes, different colors, or a combination of both. It explores how to introduce curves into a blend and how these curves can alter the underlying shape of the objects.

A key technique covered is using the blend options menu to adjust orientation. By selecting the 'according to orientation' setting, you can ensure each object in the sequence maintains its original direction, providing a more polished and professional result.
