Hi Guys,

Quick question - Does anyone know how to create the glow/lighting effect which can be seen behind the logo on the following site:

Harty Design Graphic Design Web Design Logo Design County Down Northern Ireland

I would also like to know how to create a drop shadow, the whole way around an image rather than just on two sides?

Many Thanks:),

I would just use the gradient tool for that. So, choose a starting color (like white), a radial gradient, a gradient that fades from the whiteish color to transparent, drag from somewhere outside the image towards the logo.

Just set the Distance to zero, as in the screen shot below.
