Below is the final image we will be working towards. Want access to the full Vector

Step 1
Open up a new document and draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool (M). Fill it with
a pink color or any other color of your choice. Then apply rounded corners in Effect >
Stylize > Rounded Corners. Choose a fairly high setting of around 18 pt.

Step 2
Go to Effect >3D Extrude & Bevel. Apply the settings you see in the image below. I
added an Extrude Depth of 100 pt with a Bevel of 20 pt and make it Rounded.

Step 3
Select the shape and add a Drop Shadow (Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow).

Step 4
Duplicate the shape on top (Command + C + F) and expand the appearance.

Step 5
Delete all shapes except the top shape.
Step 6
Open up the Basic Pattern Palette (Window > Swatches Libraries > Patterns > Basic
Graphics) and choose Stipple Irregular. Drag a symbol out onto the artboard, delete the
rectangle border with the Direct Selection Tool (A), and then change the stroke to a
white fill. Next, drop the changed pattern shape back into the Swatch Palette. Rename it
to White Stipple.

Step 7
Select the expanded shape and fill it with the new pattern.

Step 8
It looks a little bit harsh, so let's add some Gaussian Blur (Effect >Blur > Gaussian
Blur).

Step 9
We need some text to add to the soap bar. I chose a bold font and outlined the text. I
slightly changed it and morphed the T and the U together.
Step 10

Move the outlined text on top of the soap bar and apply the same 3D Extrude & Bevel
setting from Step 2. This time we won't need a Bevel and I added an extra Highlight.
Step 11
Repeat Step 4, duplicate the text and expand it. Next add the "White Stipple" pattern
and add a Gaussian Blur again.

Step 12
So far so good. Let's add a soap tray. Create a rectangle bigger than the soap bar and
place it underneath. I filled it with a light turquoise blue. Add some rounded corners
again.

Step 13
Repeat Step 10 and add a Bevel of 25 pt, Tall-Rounded.

Step 14
Select the soap tray and add a Drop Shadow like we did in Step 3.

Step 15
We need to give the soap bar some bevel. We want the text to look like it's carved out
and sits deeper. Let's add another rectangle but smaller then the soap bar. Fill it with the
same pink color.

Step 16
Add the same 3D Extrude & Bevel we used before, but this time choose the second Cap
option (Turn off cap for hollow appearance) and set the Bevel to 3 pt, Rounded.
Decrease the Light Intensity to 57% and the Ambient Light to 50%.

Step 17
Select the new shape and add an Opacity Mask via the Transparency Palette. Hide the
lower part with a black to white linear gradient rectangle. This will give the illusion that
the text sits deeper and a part of the soap is carved out.

Step 18
Next, we will add our sun burst background. Create a rectangle and select both path
points on the right, then hit Command + Option + J. Choose Both for Average. Then
select the Polar Grid Tool underneath the Line Tool in the Toolbar and choose the
settings shown below. I entered 20 Radial Dividers. Draw a polar grid on the art board.
Make it into a grid under View > Guides > Make Guides. Then align the burst shape
and duplicate it along the radial guides (rotate while copying, by holding down theOption key, then hit Command + D).

Step 19
With this nice Step & Repeat trick, you'll have a sunburst in no time. I filled it with the
same blue as the soap tray.

Step 20
Duplicate the sunburst and offset it a little and fill it with the soap pink. I placed the
center of the shapes behind the soap tray in the top-left corner.

Step 21
Create a pink circle on top of the sunbursts, but behind the tray.

Step 22
Let's move on to the fun part, the soap bubbles. The symbol is available for
VECTORTUTS PLUS members and is available in this tutorials download file. Place
several bubble symbols with the Symbol Sprayer (Shift + S).

Repeat Step 23 by rotating and scaling some of the bubble shapes around the tray and
on and underneath the soap bar.

Fresh and clean, this retro style soap bar is done! I hope you had fun and vented your
pent-up vector anger without the need for any unnecessary mayhem!
