How is this type of drop shadow achieved in Illustrator?

This drop shadow was made in another program. I want to know how to achieve it in Illustrator.
I also want the grey area to be solid shapes. Not a blend.
Any insight is much appreciated.

You are referring to it as a drop shadow when it is is actually type represented as a dimensional form.
So it either has to be faked or you have to give it a very slight aampount of rotation either horizontally or verticlly or both.
Or a perspective

  • How do I add a drop shadow to the page in Muse?

    How can I apply a drop shadow to the page template in Muse? If I place a rectangle it will not change shape according to the page size. Is this a feature?

    Hello,
    You're most possibly referring to "Favicons", and they can be added in a Muse site from the "File -> Site Properties -> Layout" section. Check this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-09-05_2332.png

  • CC 2014, Illustrator, type with Drop Shadows what's different about them?

    I just tried to give a line of type a drop shadow, using Creative Cloud Illustrator CC 2014.  When I first apply the drop shadow a blur shows up and the only what I can give it a shape is and by going to O inches blur.  What on earth is going on...do I have a bad copy of Illustrator?
    I'm using Illustrator on a PC running Windows 7 Professional, has an Haswell i5 processor and 16 GB of memory. I'm using the 64 bit version of CC 2014
    When I've gone to Help it won't accept drop shadow and type for illustrator at all.
    Thank you very much, in advance. Any help would really be appreciated appreciated.

    This is what I get: Mode: Normal; Opacity: 75%; X Offset: 0.1 in; Y offset: 0.1 in; Blur: 0.1in Color: Black

  • How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

    How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

    Which version of Illustrator are you using?
    In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
    Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …

  • How do I create a drop shadow that is tight to the letters in Illustrator?

    How do I create a drop shadow on some letters that is tight to the letters but still has a nice soft blur (like PS does) in Illustrartor?

    Guess what? I fixed it. All is well. And I SINCERELY appreciate all your help. You have restored my faith in Adobe products! I could not get any help from their tech support in India. They are clueless about everything and take up an inordinate amount of time wanting to come inside your computer each time to answer the simplest questions. I have been using PS and Illustrator since 1988 and Tech Support for Adobe used to cost $500.a  year and it was well worth every penny. I would pay it and the techs were fantastic. Those people in India are ridiculous. I was considering buying my software outright. Seriously. So thank you very much!

  • How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

    How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

    As far as I know, you must use brute force in the index.xml file describing the document.
    Search the descriptor of your values labels
    It starts with : <sf:SFCBarSeriesValueParagraphStyleProperty>
    and delete the three items describing the shadow.
    I highlighted it with red.

  • How do you create a drop shadow on FONT?

    I see how you create drop shadows on images but it does not seem to work for me when I want to create a drop shadow on my font.  Is there a way to do this using MUSE?  I don't want to have to use Fireworks to create an image of my font with a drop shadow.
    Thanks.

  • How to eliminate a gradient drop shadow from a film border file

    I have a Hasselblad-style square film border file that I got in an after-market PS action.  It looks pretty convincing, except that it has a gradient extending a little ways into the frame that makes it look like a frame sitting above the image with a drop shadow.  There are two layers in the file, so I think there may be a wat to get rid of the unwanted gradient.  But I can't seem to figure out what it might be.
    I sure with I could post the file here, but whatever I try to do to make files permissable to post on this forum never seems to work.  The original PSD is only 2.6 MB.  I tried sizing it down to 450p x 450p to no avail.  The error message said "this type of content is not allowed."  It is only an empty black film border.
    Anyway, if someone is willing to look at the file offline, please let me know.  I am not a graphics person, just a photographer.  I would love to get rid of the gradient on this file.  Thanks in advance.
    Alternatively, if anyone knows a source for clean, realistic black film borders in digital file format, please let me know.

    Maybe just posting a screenshot showing the border and layers panel will suffice.
    Use the png or jpeg format for the screenshot.

  • How do I get a drop shadow in Illustrator CS2

    Hi all, I'm using Illustrator CS2 on a Mac. I want the following drop shadow effect (which apparently was created on Corel Draw)
    but I'm getting is this...
    which is a slightly cloudy. I took a darker color, blurred it and placed it on top! I can't place it below the checked background because that is already a cut out placed on this grid...
    Any suggestions?
    Regards
    Shub

    Hi, Thanks you all for the sugestions, I've been trying the stuff you asked me to...my problem is actually something ele. Sorry, It's my fault, I didn't explain myself clearly...if you could please help me out with this...
    I'm actually trying to recreate this world map which was done in Corel on Illustrator. The original looks like this...
    And what I've got is this...
    So he's managed to get this drop shadow for the continents which I'm doing from the top! I'll tell you the what I've done...
    Firstl, it would've been really easy if I could just do a clipping mask of the grid, but since it is a very complicated image, the program (CS2) won't allow me to...!
    So what i've done is get a light blue rectangle on the 1st layer, then the grid on it, then the blue gradient which has the world map hollowed out(using pathfinder). Which was all fine and fairly uncomplicated till I tried to get a shadow for all the continents, then I had to put it on top, and there is no clear outline to the map because of the blur I've given the shadow!!
    Could you help me get this shadow on the same thing or maybe suggest another entirely how I can arrive at the top image in Illustrator? Thanks so much...
    Regards
    Shub

  • InDesign 5.5 - Type with drop shadow placed in front of gray box causes "shadow box". Ditto Graphics

    I exported this document from InDesign 5.5 using PDFX-4 and sent to the print service provider. The Printer's Proof showed problems in a couple of places:
    1. In InDesign, white type with a drop shadow is placed over a background box containing a placed greyscale Illustrator graphic . In the Proof, behind the type box appears a yellow-grayish shadow.
    2. In InDesign, a photo (placed greyscale Photoshop file), with a white border and drop shadow, is placed over a grey background box (CMYK). In the Proof, behind the graphic box and shadow appears a gray shadow box (lighter than the drop shadow).
    The printer informed me that he doesn't have PDFX-4. I resent the job using PDFX-3(1.3). Will that solve the problem, or is there some other problem?
    The printer needs to go to press, so don't have much time.

    You should probably ask in the InDesign forum. Looks like everything you are doing is InDesign specific.

  • How to add a simple drop shadow to video clip

    Ok, so perhaps I'm just looking in all the wrong places, or perhaps it was an oversight in the initial release of FCP X....but for the life of me, I cannot find where to add a simple drop shadow (in this case, for actual video footage.  I haven't looked into shadows for text).  I have keyed footage (BTW, bravo Apple on the chromakeyer in FCP X) that I need to add a drop shadow to in order for it to blend nicer with the background footage.  Is this feature missing?  Or am I simply not looking in the right place?

    Same answer as your other recent thread.

  • How can I change the default drop shadow settings in Illustrator?

    When using Effect>Stylize>Drop Shadow on an image in a fresh document the default settings are pretty far from what I actually require. I very often work with tiny images so need a drop shadow that is about a fifth the size of what is offered on the first use.
    Can I change the default option?
    Presently using mac pro, mavericks with CC

    Thanks for the pointer - will open a copy of said file, search for the values of the current defaults and tweak them; will report back results.

  • Why do drop shadows created in Illustrator CC randomly change their color mix?

    Drop shadows that I've created in Illustrator CC will randomly change their color mix when they are different mixtures of cmyk black, usually after closing and opening again. For example, if the drop shadow is 75c 68m 67y 90k, the next time I open the file it will 20c 0m 0y 100k. This happens with many of my files, and has been going on for several months. Thanks.

    Hey I found out from the developers that this is actually fixed in version 29 via Bug 965861. Try the pdf viewer in the next version of Firefox, this will take care of that gradient. :-) Cheers.

  • Drop shadow problem with Illustrator CS5

    I've used drop shadow several times with no problems in both photoshop and Illustrator... currently I'm dropping a white shadow onto a black background and although the shadow drops correctly around the object I've noticed that there is some sort of extra white blur that is happening several inches away from my images reguardless of what shape they are. Let me know if a file would help and I can email an example of the problem. Thanks

    Wade, This does look like the exact problem I'm having. I do not want to make a clipping mask because I have around 20 pages with numerous images on each page of varying sizes... I tried- Effect/Document Raster Effect Settings, Under options I played with a couple different settings but none seem to have fixed the problem... There is a check box for;
    Anti-alias
    Create Clipping Mask
    -Add _____ in. Around Object
    Preserve spot colors
    I'm not familier with these settings and didn't know what you were recommending I change exactly?
    Thanks again for the help
