Description
Was asked by a client to create a retro tv, to be used as a video player. Had a lot of fun with it and ended up creating this little "infinity" illustration just for fun.software used: Created entirely in adobe illustrator.
tools used: simple shapes, pen tool, gradients, effects.
techniques used: simple shapes with simple transparent gradient fades. Very little use of the pen tool. Drop shadows, inner shadows, gaussian blurs, and outer glows used sparingly. No blends or gradient mesh.

haha yeah. It's hard to explain techniques in a comment form like this, but if you had a more specific question like how I did a certain part, I'd be happy to explain.

Hehe sorry for being so curious just how you make such clean vector images... i just can't seem to get hold of the tools in illustrator to divide, add and all that shizzl...
And the overall lighting is nice as well

nothing wrong with being curious And I would be happy to tell you how I did something in illustrator, as long as it was a specific question. It's really hard to describe how I did an entire complicated peice. I will say though that the divde, add and other pathfinder tools are all very useful and I use them on an everyday basis. No sure if I usede them in this peice, but they are definetly worth using. If you are still having trouble figuring out the basics of tools such as those I would suggest doing a few tutorials over at vectortuts: [link] Do a few of them, and experiment with the techniques you learn, and that should go a long way toward helping you get the hang of working in vector.

Hehe i guess i'm being quite abstract again
If i had to be specific i would ask you how to apply nice effects on your colors in illustrator. Since i'm used to working with photoshop (layer masks and stuff) i find it quite hard to work on a fixed basis if you get what i mean. In photoshop you make a effect and just tell it to be only visible on that specific part. In Illustrator i don't always quite get how i could attain the same effect i would get in photoshop but whiles't remaining vector.
Like for instance your avatar now.
It could have been just plain colors but there are some very nice color effects and shades on it. That's what i'd love to know how to do
I guess i'll need to spend some more time on experimenting (but since i like to have a certain knowledge about the technique's i'm about to use before i use them, i find it quite annoying to just 'play around' getting nowhere )
Thanx for your replies anyway
