I
llustrator’s Extrude & Bevel command allows you to easily add 3D effects to objects, including
text. You can change the light source, angle, and other properties to create the look that
you want. Although you will not at first be able to see the settings applied to your artwork, the
command’s dialog box includes a check box that enables you to preview its effects so that you can
see exactly what your art will look like when you are done. Even though creating 3D effects can add
to the visual effect of your pages, you should be careful to ensure that the text remains readable.
