Color mode select RGB, grid effect Select 72ppi, and make sure the new object and pixel grid are not selected before clicking OK. Now enable the grid (view < display grid) and Snap to Grid (view < Snap to Grid). First, you need a grid with a 5 pixel interval. Click Edit < Preferences < guides and grids < grids, enter 5 at the grid line interval and enter 1 at the secondary divider line. You can also open the Navigator (Window < navigator) to preview the size and position of the shape. Don't forget to set the unit to pixels in edit < preferences < units < general. All of these options will significantly increase your working speed.
Use the Rectangle tool to create a 95*220px rectangle and populate the linear gradient as shown in the following illustration. The white number on the gradient represents the position percentage. Select the rectangle and make a copy of it before it (control+ C < control + F).
Create two 10*230px shapes with a rectangular tool. These two shapes are filled with white and placed in the position shown in the first picture. Select the two rectangles and convert them to a compound path (object < compound path < build or control+8). Also select the new compound path and the last copy generated in the previous step, open the Pathfinder panel, and click the Intersect button. Select the resulting Shape grouping and ungroup (Shift + control + G). Select the white rectangle on the left to reduce the opacity to 25% and the blending mode to soft light. Select another white rectangle, reduce the opacity to 10%, and set the blending mode to soft light.
Disable Snap to Grid (view < Snap to Grid) and then set the keyboard increment to 1px in edit < Preferences < General. Select the rectangle created in step 2 to generate two replicas (control + C < control + F < control + f). Select the top-most copy and move it down 1px by clicking the down arrow on the keyboard one time. Re-select two copies and click on the path finder to subtract the top button. Fill the resulting shape with white, reduce its opacity to 70%, and set the blending mode to soft light.

Select vertical and then click the Copy button. This creates a grouped copy that is flipped horizontally. Select the new grouping, drag it to the right, and place it in the second picture.
The following steps will require a grid of 1px intervals. Set grid line spacing to 1px at Edit < preferences < guides and grids. Using the Rectangle tool, create a 1*218px rectangle, fill it with black and place it in the position shown in Figure 1. Copy this slender rectangle once (control + C < control + F), fill it with white, and move the 1px to the right like the second icon.
Select the black rectangle created in the previous step, set its blending mode to soft light, and replace the plain black with the linear gradient fill shown in Figure 1 below. Select the white rectangle that you created in the previous step, set its blending mode to soft light, reduce the opacity to 70%, and replace the plain white with the linear gradient shown in Figure 2 below. The yellow number 0 on the gradient image represents the percentage of opacity.
Re-select the two slender rectangles that were edited in the previous step and group them. Select the new group, then the object < Transform < symmetry.
Select vertical and then click the Copy button. Select the new grouping, drag it to the right, and place it in the position shown in Figure 2 below.
Select the shape you created in step 2, open the Appearance panel, and add a second fill using the Add New Fill button (see blue arrows). You will need a built-in pattern as a new fill color. Pull out the color board, open: Fly out menu → open swatch library → pattern → basic graphics → basic graphics _ texture. A new window appears with a built-in set of patterns. Make sure that the second fill is still selected, then add the "USGS 19 flood" pattern, set its blending mode to overlay, and then go to object < Transform < rotate. Enter 90 degrees, do not select transform objects, select Transform pattern, and then click OK. Finally, it should look like Figure 2 below.
Select the shape edited by the previous step, open the Appearance panel, and add a third fill. Select to set the fill color to r=131 g=69 b=28 (Note: 133, 69, 72 in the original tutorial diagram are incorrect), reduce its opacity to 50%, and set blending mode for color deepening.
Reset the grid line spacing to 5px. So, to edit < preferences < guides and grids, enter 5 at the grid line interval. Now let's focus on the bottom of the shape that is currently being created. Create a 95*15px rectangle with the rectangle tool, fill the linear gradient as shown in Figure 1 below and place it in the corresponding position. Next, you need to use the round any Corner script.
