Hi have this logo that i want to put a stroke around. Im good with photoshop and on tere the effect i want can be done by either giving the text a stroke or a zero distance drop shadow or outer glow...

 

So could someone tell me how i do this on adobe illustrator as i cant seem to find helpful tutorials either?

I can tell you how using inkscape or even do it for you just for the love if you like? Sorry I have never used illustrator. If you get no joy pm me and I'll help.

 

Hope this helps

Perfect. I will keep that and do it, have you done this yet??

You can do drop shadows in Illustrator now. Under Filter > Stylize... or Effect > Stylize... Just set the offset distance to zero to create outer glow effect.

 

cheers

Yeah it really bugs me why they dont try and standardise everything, it really anoys me! Im pretty good on photoshop but when i go on illustrator it looks so furmiliar but when you try and actually do something its all just completely different when it really doesnt need to be...they have made it harder and different to photoshop on perpose but i cant figure out why...

Just highlight the shape and got to stroke palette, add the weight required, then go to colour palette and add the colour to the stroke. Simple!
