Thanks for the great tutorial-but I’m having trouble. Why is it that when I try to add a new fill or even go to illustrator effects for inner glow (or any other similar option) that all these options are greyed out?

Wow, I’m going to try that technique for sure. Is there a way you can do something similar in Fireworks? Anyone got a good URL for it?

Hi, thanks for this tutorial, its great. I have CS2 and it works fine. I had to start from the beginning a few times because some things didn’t work for some reason (i.e inner glow) but the result is fine. Is there any way to ‘smooth out’ the inner glow effect as it looks pixilated and I’m not sure how this will show when printed.

To Image Grafics:
In step 2 the line and stroke are set to none. So in step 3, highlight the text and click on the little button with the arrow on the top right of the appearance box. Then select the first option and the text colour will change to black. Then change the text colour to a shade darker than your background box (if you are using one). I don’t have the arrow next to the colour to change it, so went to my colour palate and changed it manually.

This is the greatest Illustrator tut I’ve seen in a long while. I feel like such a took – I didn’t realize you could apply two fills. This has opened so many new doors for me. Thanks much!
