Diminishing Lines

[Joe_Dempsey@adobeforums.com]

I am having to rebuild a logo (the client had only a ragged bmp file). Part of the graphic is a pattern of horizontal lines and spaces that gradually diminsh in thickness from bottom to top. What a pain in the keester to rebuild. Does anyone know a trick or know where I could download such a graphic?
TNX,

I solved my own problem. Lay out equal lines and spaces, grab the corner with the free transform tool and behold ... diminishing lines and spaces.

....naturally the lines cannot be made up of strokes. There is no such thing as a diminishing stroke...

What I did was make a series of elongated rectangles, stroked until I got the right proportion then outlined the stroke. Just to be anal, I went in and removed the extra lines created by the stroke outline.

Yes, but making the original series of lines using a stroked line, duped, and the blend tool would be a time-saver. The blend options (number of steps) and stroke weight would provide an easy way to achieve the desired line density as well as the line-to-space ratio.

Expand twice, and you're ready to do your thing with the free transform tool.
