How To Make ELECTRIC TEXT LOGO PART 1 in Adobe Illustrator CS5 | IP Tuts

[tspro]

and how did you tap the shadow into the text? im confused how to do the 3d look @ 8:45

[tspro]

which gradient do you use cause i dont have the gradient you have

@tspro It's was a regular gradient. I simply pressed "g" to select the gradient tool and then clicked the object to apply it to. As far as the 3d look, I simply made a copy of the text, filled it with a darker color and placed it behind everything else. Let me know if this helped, thanks for watching. :p

@Agent2018 Ok, for the gradient, whats the name of it, because the only gradients that are showing is-- Fade to Black, Super Soft Black Vignette, Green-Yellow-Orange, and purple radial. And to let you know i have Illustrator CS5.1 im trying to find the gradient that you have. Thanks :)

@tspro Are you referring to the part at 6:36? I was never aware there was a name for it. I always simply use the gradient tool (G key) and gradient panel (window/ gradient panel) to apply my gradients. So if there is an actual name to the gradients I wouldn't know what they are, sorry.

To tell you the truth, I never thought about trying it in Photoshop...hmmm...I'll see what happens and let you know. What part was hard for you to follow?

hey, can this be followed in Photoshop because i had trouble following you in Illustrator. plus the stupid colors dont change. there stuck on the preset ones.
