Step:1

Open a new document in illustrator Cs4, give w=575px, H=500px, resolution=72, RGB mode.

Step:2

First we need to create a Rectangle for twitter body. Select ‘M’ and click on the art board to create a rectangle with correct width and height. A dialog box appears give values,[w=430px,H=315px].hit enter.

– Press ’D’ for Default color[W/B]. Now Press ‘ / ’ for disabling the Fill color & Stroke color stay black.

Step:3

Click on the rectangle and choose Direct selection tool ‘A’. Now select the any anchor point [edge] of the rectangle.

And now select the “convert selected anchor point to smooth” to smooth the edge of the Rectangle, From the anchor point- option bar. Now the rectangle looks like this

Follow the same step for other 3 edges. If you need can resize the edited rectangle.

Step:4

Its time to fill rectangle with the gradient color ‘G’. To fill the gradient color press ‘G’ and choose the Type: Radial, now the first slider value RGB= 40,190,203. remember the color mode should be RGB. Like the same way the second slider value should be 21,143,204. Remove the black outline.

Step:5

Draw a white Cirlce, now copy & paste before the circle[ Ctrl+C and Ctrl+F ] Resize down the circle & change the color to black.one more circle above the black circle change the color to white and place it on the right corner of the black circle. This circle mentioned here for highlight the eye. See the image below

And duplicate and using reflect tool make the other hand and align it horizontally and place it to the bird. As show below.
