I am wondering how to create an impression effect in illustrator. If you take a look at the attached jpg, I am hoping to make this cloud look as if it has been impressed upon the magenta background. What I am thinking is an inverse drop shadow if it is possible, but any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There are probably many ways to do this. Anyhoo, here's one fairly simple method that might work for you.


Cut out the cloud shape from the red rectangle using the pathfinder Minus Front option
Add a drop shadow to the red shape, and also add a white inner glow with very little blur
Put a blue rectangle behind it
Perhaps finish by adding a texturiser "sandstone" effect to both the red and blue shapes
