  easy enough in adobe™ photoshop® but as usual useless adobe are too busy counting the money to allow this in illustrator® (or wordspacing adjustment, for that matter)

  • of course i only have cs3, so thgis may well have changed– hans_glib1/2

    in which case sorry, useless adobe– hans_glib2/2

  in illy, that would require a lot of effort to get those gradients

  make a linear gradient (ie in a line from left to right) with the grey highlights/lowlights.
  Then go to Object>Flatten Transparency
  Then Expand the obect

  Drag this object into your brushes palette and choose 'Art Brush'
  Then use this brush to stroke around a circle, and make the stroke thick enough to fill in the circle, bingo!

  I just found this....While using those two types of gradients, we can still control the sliders, but we cannot change the gradient’s angle and its location with the Gradient Tool (G). The Gradient along stroke is perfect for creation of the patches of light and the conic gradients.

  ^^ yeah I was gonna post that with the new stroke gradients, this got a lot more easier to achieve. Only CS6 though..

  • seriously, ridiculous. why not just give us the "angle."– rodzilla1/3

    like in ps– rodzilla2/3

    apologies to useless adobe, then– hans_glib3/3

  You can also get creative with the width tool and stroke gradients.

  

  this is with 4 strokes on a clipping circle. you can tweak the angles adding more strokes..

  • nice.– rodzilla

  Baskerville for the win. It's all about Art Brushes.

  • :)– BaskerviIle1/5

    rodzilla's solution is a bit more elegant though, no?– monospaced2/5

    yes but only CS6, for earlier versions, the Art Brush is the way to go...– ESKEMA3/5

    only if you have CS6!– BaskerviIle4/5

    ah, I see– monospaced5/5

  Fireworks does this easily using the cone gradient

  • or gradient set to cone, I mean. It takes one step– Josev
