How did they do it?

Does anyone know how this effect was done with this font? There is a small stroke inside the letter with a gradient and what looks to be a 3d effect? And then the fill of the font is a graient with almost like brush strokes in it. I use illustrator for all my stuff. How can this be achieved? Thanks

In Illustrator you can add a stroke with a gradient.

After looking at it again it looks like this was made in Photoshop. They used a stroke, inner shadow, and outer glow.

This is Photoshop work. There are a lot of tutorials on how to make these effects.

If you need to do this in Corel, you can use the contour tool.

Photoshop and I dont get along...... we never seem to see eye to eye. I was afraid this was going to be the answer........

Here is my snarky comment of the month,
The question is..."Why would someone do effects like that?"

 

[crny1]

I agree whole heartedly.........BUT the client wants more of them just like it and has no idea who did it originally.

The resolution is not horrible, any chance you can print from the jpg? or take the word ENTER out and redo the background, the white halo around the letters is easy to create in photoshop

I tried but its still alittle pixelated more than I am comfortable with.

Looks to me like it was done in Corel Draw. The font was contoured in.Then the contour was broken from the font so it became one combined object. Then a flame bitmap was powerclipped in. I am not sure if Illustrator can do this. But. Corel is much faster than illy anyways.

The glow effect can be done by contouring out in Corel.

Attempting to copy it may get you in trouble with copyright infringement. I'd do some samples of what I can do and present those to the customer.
