Hi, wondering if some one could help me i have been trying to find a shape that looks somthing like the red one below, the green shapes are the closes i can find any ideas?

 

If you have the 'tools', such as Illustrator, with which shapes like this are most easily created, then you're laughing.

 

Let me know what apps you are working with—notably vector ones—and I'll throw you a line.

Hi, i normaly use photoshop because i feel comfortable with it, i do happen to have illustrator sat here and if you could tell me how to great a shape like that it would be very helpfull. I have tried find some tutorials on illustrator but nothing that i want :*(.

In Illustrator (I am using CS3, but the toolkit has been the same since V.1) select the STAR tool.

 

Now... do NOT drag or use the tool interactively... simply 'click' once on the illustrator drawing area...

 

A dialogue will appear, and ask for input... Radius 1, Radius 2 & Points

 

Now... a *good* setting to start with is Radius 1: 100px, Radius 2: 90px, Points: 30

 

Once you get a good setting, you can scale the image up & down in Illustrator to the size you need.

 

And, if you're on at least CS, you can do all your Web2 style stuff in Illustrator rather than Photoshop, as I personally find it much easier.

 

In Photoshop, if you *insist*, you can also create stars by using the Polygon tool (vector) and selecting 'star' as it's options. Then, the same figures above are a good start point.

Photoshop also let you do polygonal shapes like this.

This might help you as well...
