: Creating a blurred border in illustrator I'm trying to recreate this shape(s) in illustrator and am not sure how it was done. I came up with a similar effect using the blend tool and it works

@Kevin459

Create a round cornered rectangle (white in this case).
Go to Effect > Blur > Gaussian Blur... and apply some blur (you can also do this via fx in the appearance palette).
Reduce the opacity of the blurred rectangle (you can do this in the appearance panel or the transparency panel).


The exact parameters and values will require some experimentation.
