I create a new banner for our eyeTricks 3D Stereograms Facebook page every other week (Gene Levine and I alternate), and I frequently use this unwinding ribbon effect.
Previously, I had used a combination of a blend for the spiral, clipviewed into the shape, and then a top and bottom half of the ellipse shape filled with gradient fills.
While the results are similar, I created the first example with a single line and an Art Brush. Worlds simpler.
The art brush has changed my life.
