Good day, everyone. I'm looking for help in creating a wavy or curved line within the Gradient tool in Illustrator. The illustration above shows what I have so far, but what I would like to achieve is a wavy line where the yellow changes to orange rather than the straight line that is there now. I would be grateful for any help that can be offered. Thank you.

So it doesn't matter?

Anyway: you can't do it with a gradient.

You might somehow (with a lot of adjusting) be able to do it using a pattern swatch. But the solution that can be adjusted most comfortably is applying the text as a clipping mask to however you create the wavy thingy. Is a clipping mask acceptable?

So this should not be a color transition, but instead a hard edge?

Ideally I'd like to have either a blend or a hard edge.
