This easy to use Adobe Illustrator graphic style kit includes a total of 12 vector light effects for you to apply to your text or other graphics. Simply load the set through the Graphic Styles window and with one click of a button you can apply these light effects to any text or object.

Our Graphic Styles are 100% pure vector. There are no raster or bitmap techniques used to create these effects, which means the final result is a true vector.

Note: One of the effects does use transparency in a gradient, which can sometimes raster in other vector programs.

Tips for use:

All of these effects are meant for a dark background. For best results, set your background color to a “full color” black (in your color panel, make sure the color is set to 100% C,M,Y and K).
All of our Graphic Styles are calibrated for use with type set at 72 pt. If you find that your results do not appear as the images shown, raise or lower your type size to around 72 pt.
These graphic styles are meant for Adobe Illustrator and were created in version CS5. They will not work with Photoshop, however you can create your effect in Illustrator and then paste them into Photoshop as a Smart Object.

To use, open a new document and set your background to a full color black. Open the file through Adobe Illustrator’s Graphic Styles (Window Graphic Styles). Click on one of the icons in the Graphic Styles window to apply the effects to your text or other object.
