Quick tip over at the excellent CreativeBits on how to use Opacity Masks to create a transparent fade within Illustrator.
Why Illustrator (or InDesign for that matter) still does not have a transparent swatch that one can use with a gradient is beyond me. This tip clearly shows it’s possible, but perhaps there’s some sort of voodoo in the code that prevents this from being a built-in feature.
