Hello,
So i've bought CS5 and am trying to learn Illustrator. I have lots of experience in Corel Draw and Paint but now it's time to use proper stuff.
I'm trying to design a roller banner for a part of my business and what I want to do is add some photo's to my design but then make them look nice. The sort of effect i'm looking for is a white border with a drop shadow to make it look like it's coming out of the design.
I can use stylize to get the drop shadow effect (almost, it's a bit hit and miss) but the white border is beyond me unless I draw a white box and place the photo on top of it. Is there a better way of doing it?
Like I said i'm so new to Illustrator i'm going very slowly with it!
Any help much appreciated.
