Bend the Blend

Here's how to take a blend and turn it up a notch. After creating a blend, draw a path for the blend to follow. Shift-click with the Selection tool (V) to select the path and the entire blend (all the objects in the blend), and from the Object menu choose Blend>Replace Spine. The straight line between the first and last objects in the blend will be replaced with your path. If the objects are not evenly spaced out along the path, see the next tip.
