NEON Text Effect Illustrator Tutorial

[@orincywhytedesigns]

I absolutely love that you had each layer of text separated in order to see the blur effects separately!! Brilliant

[@romanrybiansky3282]

Far the best Adobe suite tutorials you can find.PERIOD.

[@ForeverDansky]

Wow thanks so much Roman! :)

[@harrydsouza]

Is it just me or is it a lot better having Dansky explain what he's doing instead of all the videos out there with distracting music and trying to chase the mouse on the screen :) Thanks a lot for the amazing video Dansky!!

[@grafitea]

I love how you just kept adding to it, making more and more depth. I've always used the artboard setup like you have, backup copy of editable text and moving in (shift) steps. This tutorial is a much simpler yet precise way of getting that glow effect. I gotta try this!👍

[@espedale]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for including the detail about the variable gradient at the end. That really makes the design shine. I feel like you never hold anything back and, unlike 99% of the other channels, the final design always looks like the thumbnail. THANK YOU, DANSKY!

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey thanks so much, appreciate the feedback :) You're very welcome Espedale.

[@noumankhan6762]

I always wanted to learn illustrator but couldn't find the best tutorials. And now here i am on 37th video of this tutorial series and seriously this playlist is super amazing so far i learned so much from these videos.

[@jpegweber]

A couple tips to speed up this workflow!: ALT+Shift+Drag to a new location directly above will copy your initial "NEON," then use CTRL+D repeatedly to duplicate this transformation however many times you'd like. When you're ready to stack them again after adding the blur, use the align panel to center each layer vertically and horizontally.

[@caityalison8310]

I used this for a school design project before I saw your video but this tutorial makes it seem way easier than my teacher did!

[@shantamgulati8593]

I have been learning a lot from you. Hats off to you and your hardwork my friend. I have started created logos on illustrator just by seeing your videos. Love from Canada!

[@danishsmartpk]

Amazing technique and a very cool presentation. I love this tutorial :)

[@joshualawson2702]

Thanks to you, I know about 70% of the tools in adobe illustrator. Love your work.

[@ForeverDansky]

[@rahamatullah8005]

i like text effects most. you had an video previously made on neon text effects. This video will be very effective for all. thank you.

[@bluntdeep]

Nice tutorial Dansky. Cheers mate.

[@stephanhaagensen8470]

Thank you for an inspiring video. The thing is.. I want to do something similar for a logo.. but it doesn’t quite look like a neon sign when the letters are not connected. If you get around too it it would be nice with an expanded tutorial with connected letters.

[@Bella-nq1jl]

It looks super cool and it's super easy to do, thanks!!!

[@melonethtassartir9686]

Thank you for showing us this, it's a neat trick and I'm doing it as we speak, although you could really really ease yourself a time and control by instead of doing duplicating layers and cludding info unecessary, use appearance pannel to just add multiple strokes. You have plenty control then when you can turn on off selected stroke and modify effect on each and every one, as well as stack them in order you want to. Cheers.

[@user-wk8vo4ju7o]

Loved the gradient on the top most text...

[@orlandoortiz661]

[@rexcom13]

Nice video, thanks!! I made a good neon text with this!

[@TheGdNb]

Awesome tutorial! However... the Gaussian blur is not vector. Does anyone know any other software you can use to make some actual vector neon effect? I'm confused

[@Dubiousthinking]

You're the best man

[@niag6201]

Perfect, thanks!

[@Easyriderr]

Why when I click on the gradiant for the white text, my text turns black and even tho I add the blue color and revome the black my text just stays dark with a blue shine instead of the white.

[@gracedynek3088]

Is there any way to do this with handwritten text that you convert to vector with image trace?

[@Ammad.nadeem]

Wow..This Is Awesome! I'm Going To Make It, Now! ❤👍👌👌👍

Hey Dansky, I just want to ask a question about getting into this sort of design. I’m finishing my last year of high school and going on to uni next year. If you did go to uni, what kind of course did you do? If not how did you get into this field? Thanks for all your videos
