Steps to Create neon effect

 

Step 01

Create a RBG file & place a 100% black box as background. CMYK file doesn’t give you proper light effect.


Step 02 –
Add a text layer, try to use fonts with thin lines.

Convert text into “Type > Create Outline“.


Step 03 – 
Apply Offset path from Object – Path.

 

It will create new layers, group them all.

 

Step 04 – Give them color, lighter one on top layer group, it will give feel like a bright light.

 

Step 05 – Apply Guassian Blur from “Effects – Blur“. Create 3 copies of back dark layer, apply different level of blurness to every layer. First layer i apply Radius “10” pixels.

 

Second layer, apply Radius “65” pixels.

 

Third layer, apply Radius “95” pixels, this was the last step to create neon effect.
