Appearance

We already used the appearance panel in previous topics but I'm going to talk a little bit more about it because it's actually a very important one to use in general in Illustrator but also they like to ask questions about it in the exam so you find it in the window menu and that's the appearance panel and I'm going to just put it here on the right maybe dock it into the panels that we have and I'm going to focus on one of these illustrations and once I have my selection I'm going to go into the effect menu and choose the stylize outer glow effect. I will maybe increase the blur amount a bit on here and that looks quite nice so I'm just going to click OK so this is how it looks without the effect and with the effect. I have the appearance panel showing the outer glow that we assigned and we can also click here on the name to make changes to it. So these are called live effects anything that shows up in the appearance panel you will be able to make changes to you can remove it as well…
