Ariana M Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 How can i make this text effect in Designer? I've had some suggestions from an Illustrator user but I don't know how to replicate what they've done. I've tried the Effects-Outer Shadow but can't get this crisp edge or the layers to "blend". "Glitter test" shows what I was able to do so far just using the Effects-Outer Shadow... help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 That looks like a "Long Shadow" effect which can be done with equations in AP and Power Duplicate in AD (or AP). If you still cant figure it out, post again as I may have more time later for an example in AD Ariana M 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithferion Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'm afraid that in Designer, this is the only way around I know of: Place your text. Duplicate your text and move it 45° to the upper left side. Draw the rest of the shaow to connect the two texts. Replicate and change colors (in my example below I use Symbols if I have to make adjustments to the shape I drew). Best regards!

I have both AD and AP but am usually working in AD, so prefer solutions there so i dont have to hop back and forth.

Best regards! thank you for such detailed instructions and what must have taken some time to put together the steps and screenshots! I sincerely appreciate it! However, my amateur attempts to follow these steps look... amateur!!! Thank you so very much for trying to help me figure this out... I'll keep trying as I get better with the various drawing tools, and in the meanwhile I'll poke around and see if the AP options are faster, even if that means having to open and close the same file in each program to get them processed! Fingers crossed the AP option is easier... #learningcurve!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
