Request for Glowing Text Effect

**FalsifyTheWorld** · 03 August 2012, 04:34 PM

Can anyone send me a link or tell me how to create a glowing text effect?

I need for a poster design I'm working.

Thanks

What version of Xara are you using? There are certainly ways to go about this but the methods would be different depending on what version you have.

Attached image created 100% in XDP (Based on Ps tutorial) if you like it and you have any of XD versions,
I can tell you how you can create it.

Thanks for the link I'll definitely have a look!

Here is an attempt. I am stuggling with trying to replicate PS blending modes such as the colour dodge. I'll be looking forward to seeing how you did this so well

Thanks Frances for sharing your drawing result, it´s great, but please don´t read the tut. so exact we know this is for Ps, just translate the drawing in XD, eg, use shadows with many different colors and adjustments and trans. too in XD, another example the repeating steps in my drawing is about 12 times not 20 like in the tut
All the trick here is to draw the text line (2 PT), apply shadow with color, clone, Lock the original and feel free to reposition the clone, move it a bit, resizing it a bit, change the outline color, change the shadow color and repeat this for about 12 times, then group all text lines. and ........
Anyway, here attached images is Part#1 of my XD Tutorial for the background.
