Hole With Frame

First I must this apologize for it I couldn't translate everything.

Do me a favor! My English isn't the best one. If somebody finds faults in my notation, then correct me, please. Is very laborious look for it in the dictionary.

So the result will look if we are ready. A hole with punching frameworks punched out. In the background a ball.

First we make a rectangle with rounded corners. Not cares about size. We give this rectangle to see a Linear Gradient like in the picture on the right.

We give the rectangle the following effects:

Drop Shadow with the attitudes to be seen on the right

Inner Shadow with the attitudes to be seen on the right

Inner Shadow with the attitudes to be seen on the right

As near we make a circle and put it in the middle. To this we mark both objects keep them the Crtl button pressed to this. It then should look on the right like in the picture.

Then go in the Menu Modify on Combine Paths -- punch.

The result then looks so.

We give this rectangle effect then still following:

Drop Shadow

After this we produce a circle 160 x 160 in the size and duplicate it. For the better representation I have given the two circles different colors.

These two circles then will form the rise by the hole.

You give the first circle the following effects:

Drop Shadow

The marking is important at Knock out !!! The circle gets invisible with that and the effects can be only seen.

One can already suspect the result here. One can already roughly take the just finished circle to position.

We still give these shadows a Blur effect. So that it seems even more plastic.

You give the second circle the following effects:

Drop Shadow

The marking is important at Knock out !!! The circle gets invisible with that and the effects can be only seen.

So the result looks. We must only put both circles suitably now.

Ta taaa....

For the end we still produce a circle this one is a little smaller than the opening and put it roughly in the middle.

To make a ball from the circle, they give her the following effects:

Radial gradient with the colors shown on the right in the picture

According to this you put the ball in the background.

We have arrived at the end now.

A tip still: To stress the edges of the hole still more, simply take the effect away blur a little back.
