Thank you Dansky! You Saved my night. Very clear tutorial, love how you present.

This was so calming to watch and easy to follow. THANK YOU

Hey guys!!!!! It's worth mentioning (as I spent about 20 minutes messing with it trying to figure out what was wrong...) : If you do NOT want a strange white outline surrounding your gaussian blur, when you are first creating the document, make sure it is in RGB mode and not CMYK. good luck! as soon as he pulled his son up I knew this was gonna be a good video!!! Couldn't stop smiling :)

I've never seen it so easy! Thank you so uch, Neon is one of my favorites and i used to spend WAY too much time trying to do it.

Your videos are so wonderfully helpful. Thank you so much for doing what you do!

I found a solution to the offset issue some of us are having (at least as of writing this). After tinkering with it for awhile, I discovered that the lowest you can set the offset is to -1 px. After that you might as well be cutting and pasting the text. If you want to get the offset to shrink more you need to use a an integer between 0 and -1 px. I used -0.7 px and it got to to about the same size as shown in Dansky's video if not a bit smaller. Hope this helps.

Also, it does work with other fonts, but it works better with those that are thinker. Example: I just did it with the chiller font and it worked but the offset has to be around -0.1 (maybe down to -0.3 px) if you want to offset the the entire text.

Just figured out something to give it a little bit more flare after following these steps. If you add a black outline to that initial blur effect it gives a really nice break effect from the glow of the neon light to the glow on the backdrop.

hey Dan! great to see you back and lovely to see Leo :) hope you have a great new year and look forward to many more of your videos in 2016!

Heads up! If you're putting a negative number in for the offset and nothing seems to happen, make that negitive MUCH smaller. When I put in -5 it seemed as if nothing happened. The problem was that -5 was WAY to small. Solution: put something like -0.5 instead of -5.

Hey, awesome tutorial videos man! i was wondering if you could make a tutorial video on how to remain high quality in your images after resizing in Photoshop, i had this problem when making a banner using my own images when i resized them down and when zooming i could see huge pixels, ive seen no videos on how to avoid that, would be amazing!

you missed a few steps. in the beginning you should have told us when creating a new illustrator document you have to choose Pixels, Web only, and RGB. I kept wondering why my colors weren't coming out vibrant. I was getting frustrated. so yeah other than that great tutorial!

Hi Dansky! Thanks for a great tutorial, I loved it. I'm just wondering, what's the difference between Create Outline and Expand in Illustrator? I've seen that designers use both for making text an editable object, but is there another difference? Thanks in advance!/ Ana

Thank you so much man! You're a great teacher and today I learned a new cool technique so thanks.

I like how much information you pack into your videos. It always irks me when during tutorials, the person doesn't explain the why's. Looks like I'm subbin! :)

When I offset path to a negative number, It does not work. No thinner version of the text appears. However, using a positive number works, it just means my Neon Text is fatter than I'd like.

Did he say that? I thought I heard him ay that we could use whatever font we wanted. Anyway, I've figured it out. My document settings were way too small and my color was set to CMYK instead of RGB.

@grantydnb

font is irrelevant, you are offsetting a path so if the text has been made into outlines as he advises earlier in the tutorial then all you are doing is offsetting a shape

Whenever I apply the Gaussian Blur, It turned my bright pink into a really light and muted pink. Go to: File > Document Color Mode > RGB to fix the issue Thanks for the video!

Spot on Rachel :) The CMYK spectrum for print just can't match some of the more 'punchier' colours that are used to create neon effects.

at first try, i can make it but the second time i'd tried it, whenever i did the offset, there's no second line (just a line in the middle), then i tried to just ungroup it, it turned out the offset lines disappears and it just ungroups the original words please help a noob like me T-T

Hey there! Try reducing your offset to "0.2" or "-0.2" because if the numbers are too big, particular on the minus side of things, the offset will disappear inside the letters :)
