Hi, I am trying to follow the tutorial above. At 6:19 min in, the instructor creates a gradient. I have followed him exactly and tried to create a gradient of three colours that blend in (just like the video tutorial). 

I add a fill but only the top fill is visible, ?/

Please help because I dont understand what I am doing. Please note that I am stuck on the video begging at 6 minutes onwards, its not working as you can see from the screenshot.

 

Thanks

Probably your top fill is made of two colors with 100 % opacity each. Its blend mode is "Normal". Therefore your red gradient is a plain, opaque colored area.

Note in the video he applied some transparency to some colors. Also (or only) you can use the blend mode of each fill to make those underneath come through.

Not sure if each circle needs to have a gradient, but its the only way I have found that works. 

What do you mean with "each circle" ? – Each fill may have   a) a plain color or    b) a gradient or   c) none of those (Ø).

I think what you mean by circles are the "stops" along the gradient's path, the places where the gradient is set to a specific color & opacity. There is also a midpoint line between each pair of stops that adjusts the gradient's blend between them.

If you use the Fill Tool (Designer) or the Gradient Fill Tool (Photo) to select them, the status bar at the bottom of the workspace window will indicate how that tool can be used to move them.
