Hi,

I cant seem to figure out how I can tilt a object inwards? Like in this picture. I want my iphone screen to fit in the iphone but I cant tilt it that way.

    If I understand the question well enough, it's a simple matter of Free Transform...

    Choose the Free Transform tool:

    Grab a side handle and reduce horizontally:

    Then, grab a corner handle and click/hold+Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Drag to apply perspective

    David,

    Regardless of version you may consider the Free Transform Tool on the Group of objects including one (maybe nofill/nostroke) bounding rectangle to fit the screen boundaries, Ctrl/CmdClickDragging first the upper then the lower right corner Anchor Point (start ClickDragging just before pressing Ctrl/Cmd).

    Or, depending on version, the Perspective Grid.

    What kind of objects does your screen simulation contain? Is it just that gradient filled path and the URL? Or something different?

    Which version of Illustrator are you using?

    I am using version 2015.3.0.

    No it is a screen like the one inside the iphone and the screen is full of objects. It is like an ui design of an app.

    Understood, but by asking "what kind of objects" I actually meant some technical aspects.

    For example, does it contain only plain filled or stroked paths? Or are there other object types such as raster objects, live text, gradients (what kind of gradient?), gradient meshes, linked files etc.?

    The easiest way to look for a possible solution would be to provide a sample .ai file. Can you do that?
