How to put a professional looking drop shadow on a primary logo
 

does anyone know?

Tips?

Help?





I have cash...

Layer effects in photoshop aren't cutting it?

photoshop?

what is this photoshop you speak of?

Lol, you already know how to do that.

Select the logo, create a new layer, fill it black, blur it, reduce the opacity, then offset it.

Or just double click on the layer and use all of the fun options to make the shadow... You have a lot of posts though so I'm assuming you already know this

is there a tutorial somewhere I can look at? Or maybe better yet, a professor I could speak with?

Amp is back. Looks like redesigning effexor.com paid off well and he bought himself privvies.

huh?

I'm new here. I just am trying to procreate information for my family. We have no clothes and thus I am to be giant web master and make much food money.

Just select the freehand tool, draw a lasso around the part of the logo you want highlighted, then hit the drop shadow effect tool and drop'r in there hoss. :winkwink:

Make sure there's fresh batteries in your cordless mouse. :warning

Oh, and take your time lassoing it. One shakey hand tremor and it's game over baby.

lol :D

Should I just go ahead and take credit for killing this thread?

:D

drop shadows are worthless with out a bevel and embossed lens flare.

Use Fireworks :)

I hire 3rd world villagers to do this work for me.

One day, I hope to be able to afford someone as good as a designer or 2 in this thread. Not that I would do it, as I can still get sales using the villagers.

Using Microsoft paint use the pencil tool and draw a shitload of dots to achieve a blur effect. :)

Oh sure, take the easy way out. :1orglaugh

You don't.

It's an inside joke among graphic designers to say "You should put a drop shadow on that thing"...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Think cost effective.
