1) Cropping mask, the so-called cropping means that you only need to crop out the part you need.

Usage: Create a graphic, and then place this graphic on the graphic you want to crop. Then select both graphics at the same time and execute ctrl 7.

Then the part displayed is the part you created.

2) Transparent mask, this is somewhat equivalent to the layer mask of PS. Through the black and white gradient, the graphics can be made from transparent to opaque.

The usage is as follows: first create an object, and then perform a black and white gradient. Black is hidden and white is displayed.

Then place the graphic you created on the graphic you want to change, and then select both objects at the same time.

Now find the transparent mask, and then click the button in the upper right corner to select Create Opaque Mask.

The transparent mask is to select the "Transparency" panel under the "Window" menu in AI, then there is an inverted triangle in the upper right corner, click it with the left mouse button, and there will be a " Create Opacity Mask" option, select it.
