If you use Photoshop, you are probably familiar with Layer Styles. Did you know Illustrator has a similar feature called Graphic Styles? Graphic Styles allow you to save a collection of effects as a Style so it can be used over and over again. I'll show you how to access the Graphic Styles installed with Illustrator, and how to use a new feature called Additive Styles to make transformations and effects a snap. (While Graphic Styles have been around a while, Additive Styles are new in Illustrator CS4).
