Single Path Ribbons

   Okay, so... I created these ribbons using one single illustrator circular path and added all the detail by adding multiple appearances to that one path.

   I was wondering... how many people use illustrator the same way I do? Would you have done all this with one path, or would you create it using multiple circles, gradients and textures on separate layers?

   As I see it, the only real benefits to working this way are:
   1: You can create graphic styles of the final product
   2: To edit a piece of the artwork, you only need to select the whole piece instead of browsing through layers, or using the direct selection tool.

   Thoughts?

   I would use separate layers on this one.

   I'd probably use separate layers, too. Would be curious to see how you did this with just the one and styles, though.
