Just put together a quick 1st draft of my tutorial how to create a ribbon like this....
Ribbon tutorial
Need to crop and adjust the screenshots etc but have a look - comments, suggestions etc always appreciated
Suggestions to make it better:
Better gradient fills
You could split the sections so you can apply multiple gradients

Re: Making a flowing ribbon
Nice tutorial. I got a little confused at the step "Fill the two longer parts with colour". But this is because I had overlooked the step when the first half of the ribbon was broken apart.
Re: Making a flowing ribbon
I always wanted to know how to make something such as a ribbon, your explanation was helpful and easy to understand. thanks for the tut.
Re: Making a flowing ribbon
Glad it was of some use
There may be better ways to do this - could also tweak the ribbon around the fold - or make it wrap different ways......
