Creating Stars with InDesign

If you’ve taken our InDesign classes then you should know that one of my favorite parts of the training is when we get to the drawing tools & adding color. I personally love using the Polygon Shape tool. It’s the most versatile of the drawing tools. You can create triangles, octagon, even squares is you wanted too (but of course you’d just use the rectangle tool for that).

The folks over at InDesign Secrets pointed out a cool trick that I hadn’t been aware of. If you hit the arrow keys while drawing your “polygon” then you can change the number of sides & the star inset field. Cool huh?
