Question
Hello!
I have one certain problem with my AI:
I've been trying to make "glossy" images, for what I created a black-white gradient on top of my button and set it in the Transparency-window onto "screen".
But the gradient simply went all white...

I hope you know what I mean and how I could solve my problem.
Thank you very much.

Answer
Hi Felicity,
What you're trying to achieve requires more than adding a gradient on top of the button. In order to create a nice looking glossy button please follow the steps that you'll find at: http://www.attitudedesign.co.uk/journal/?p=55

I thought that the tutorial on the above mentioned website is better than me describing everything in plain text.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance with your work. I will be glad to help.

Best regards,

Laith
