Hi

I am making postcard in AI.
I am looking for the similar effect to the Shadow and Bevel for the Text, so that the text will stand up over the background. It is plain easy in AcdSee Pro, but how to do it in AI ????

The shadow effect in AI is somewhat different, instead of duplicating the text it makes rather big shadow.
Here are the examples of what I am looking for (screeshot from AcdSee)
Thanx!

Be carefull with small type and special effect on it. Text ended up not readable.If it is not readable it is not good!

    Photoshop can do it.

    Or InDesign.

     

    I wouldn't do it, because it usually doesn't help with legibility.
