Hello InDesign people, we're going to look at rounded corners.
We're going to do it to this box that we did with
this cool transparency and just do one corner, like this guy.
You can also do full round corners and
all these other weird corners that you probably never going to use.
So let's go and look at rounded corners in InDesign.
So we're going to practice with a box over here.
So grab your rectangle tool and click hold,
drag it out box, give it a fill color and no stroke.
I'm going to give it a fill of green hat red and I'm going to give it a stroke of none.
Rounded corners, grab the black arrow,
click on this and you've probably always wondered what the hang this things full.
It is for editing the corners, give it a click,
and nothing happens, but you get these diamonds in the corner,
so grab one of the yellow diamonds.
Let's grab the top, click hold and drag to the left end.
You, my friends now I have rounded the corners,
so if you end up clicking off by accident,
click back on, click the square,
it launches that diamonds,
which you can go back and start dragging left and right,
not up and down, and increase them up a little bit.
Let's look at the different kinds of corners.
By default, it's two-rounded corners,
but you can see by that little popup window here,
you can hold down the "Alt" key on a Mac "Option" key backwards.
It is ocean key on a Mac and Alt key on a PC.
Give it a click and you get pixel space invaders version of the corners.
I have never used themes.
Keep holding down that key "Option" on a Mac,
Alt on a PC, keep clicking.
You get those ones,
you get those ones,
and eventually they pop back into the corners and you've got to let
go of option and drag them back out again, it's up to you.
Now one of the things we're going to do is show you how to do them individually.
So I'm going to click and drag them back into the corner as
far as it'll go and it'll get them back to being nice sharp corners.
Now if you hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard,
hold it down and then start dragging to the left. Like that.
It will become one corner only,
and this happens quite a bit with these kind of factoid things.
I'm going to click on this,
to get the corners, hold down,
shift, grab this one and make this a rounded corner.
We're going to put a little pull coat,
or little factoid in there.
That's where maybe this corner one becomes "O" case and click on this one,
drag, it's just this one.
I'm going to hold down my what was it?
Alt key or the Option key,
and then you could do something like that.
The cool thing about that is it's part of
it and it can be resized and all other nice things.
That is rounded corners,
let's move on to the next one where we looked at maybe some drop caps,
drop caps, cool. Let's go do that.
