I wanted to understand the process using swatches, creating tones with them, and avoiding the manipulation of opacity so both colors remain 100% solid. It would have been way too easy to have Photoshop open as well, simply user that eyedropper to combine the colors and grab the numbers. The current process is really a deep dive into Illustrator, so I can refine my skill set a bit more. Excellent tips, though. | |
