How-To Inner shadow for text

[Hendy374084080dng]

How can I add inner shaddow for text in illustrator?

[Monika Gause]

Illustrator doesn't have an Inner Shadow at all. So everything would be a workaound.

Can you please show an example of how exactly you want this to look like?

[Hendy374084080dng]

Simply have an inner saddow to give it a very slight 3d effect.

Hi Hans-Jürgen, it might be this or that.

Hendy,is this what you had in mind???

Here I am working with Live Type.

With your Text Tool, set your type and give it a Fill color.

Switch to your Selection Tool (black arrow).

Effect>Stylize>Inner Glow.

Change Mode to Multiply and give it a dark color.

You will see in your Appearance Panel, Inner Glow Fx has been added.

1. A blend would probably work.
