Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode, a card that appears to float with a soft shadow, and glowing neon text, using stylize effects in the effects menu. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The effects menu adds lively effects without altering the original shape. Effects can be edited or removed anytime through the appearance panel. A white card with rounded corners on top of a light gray background.
Step 1: Drop Shadow
Select the effect, stylize, drop shadow. Set the mode to multiply, opacity to 30%, X offset to 0, Y offset to 2, and blur to 30 with preview on.
Step 2: Soft Shadow
A shadow with a large blur and low opacity looks more natural, like a floating card. Avoid dark, sharp shadows because they look outdated. Open the appearance panel.
Step 3: Editing via Appearance
Drop shadow is listed with the FX icon. Click its name to reopen the dialog. Change the blur to 40, the effect updates instantly.
Step 4: Neon Outer Glow
On the second artboard with a dark background, type neon in a bright pink color. Select the effect, stylize, outer glow, mode screen, color pink, opacity 90, and blur 20. The text appears to glow. Draw a blue circle, add a white inner glow to the edge to make it look like glass.
Step 5: Inner Glow and Feather
Draw another circle and add a feather of 20 pixels, its edges fade softly.
