In this tutorial we will create a graphic style that we will adopt in the text that we make with the processing in a panel appearance.

Follow these steps:

1. Make a straight line from top to bottom using the Pen tool, change the stroke to white fill = none, thickness = 7 pt line




2. Open appearance panel (Window> appearance), the box panel consisting of the stroke and fill, then there is a small box beside. The panel appearance was explained that the image consists of a stroke with a white color and thickness 7pt and fill none. Next click the box next to stroke, hold it ... and slide towards the bottom right panel appearance as well trash the image (note the picture below ... the goal to double the stroke as has been described in previous posts ... change the stroke color to red and the thickness becomes 20 pt.



3. Repeat step 2 above to get the stroke to 3, change its color to blue and the thickness becomes 40pt.



4. In the appearance panel, click the red box in addition to stroke 20pt, meaning we will activate the red stroke, effect select menu> Blur> Gaussian Blur, our goal will be to apply blur effect on the stroke of red.



5. Specify the parameters for the value of Radius = 5 (or customize to desire), click OK.Note the changes in the image.



Repeat steps to apply the blur at No.5 on white stroke with a smaller radius value

6. Select the menu Window> Graphic Style (Shift + F5), to call the panel Graphic style ... switch the image and drag it into the panel.



7. After the image into the panel graphic style ...images on the picture window
we can delete.

8. Select the text tool, click on the image area for a word, adjust the size .... then click the graphic style we have made earlier .... then the text will change based on the style we have made earlier .....
