Here is a cool bright light effect that you can do in Illustrator. It's cool, but I feel it's better to just to do it in Photoshop. One thing that the tutorial doesn't tell you is you have to convert the mode from CMYK to RGB, otherwise this effect will not work. The image above is what I created, because I wanted to make sure I could do it before I shared it with you all. The tutorial is quite simple, but it was missing that color mode conversion.
