    Firstly you would Clcik the "D" text then click convert to outlines in one of the top drop down menus.

    then draw a thin rectangle the size that you want the break and lay it ontop of the text.

    then open the "pathfinder" window.

    highlight both elements then in the pathfinder window click the second buttom in from the left on the top row.

    then click "EXPAND"

    for the glo:

    copy this layer then hit "CTRL and F" or for mac "CMD and F" then hit "CTRL and [ " or for mac "CMD and ["

    then click EFFECTS in the top drop down menu and go to "BLUR" "GAUSSIAN BLUR"

    and from here you can choose the amount of blur you want.

    Iknow this was an old post but maybe it could still help people
