decorative corners for web graphics

Postby smithp0 on Tue Mar 20, 2007 2:50 pm

Hello
I am trying to learn to use illustrator, and I want to make a rounded corner graphic, e.g. 10px radius with a 1px border, I produce the graphic with the correct outside bg color and inside bgcolor and then set the crop as best I can,

My problem is the crop is all a bit hit and miss, and the borders do not align with the web page ipx border .

Is illustrator the correct software for this job? In fireworks it would be relatively easy.

Am I thinking in the wrong way for what I want to do.

I think the best way would be to use firefox only cause i like so much. But using the pen tool can be quite tricky. Practice practice practice i don't think there is any easy way to do it

Thanks Jason

Just to clarify that I wish to build a corner graphic one for each corner of a website box, Top left, Top Right, Bottom left, bottom right, to hide the sharp square corner underneath

How would all of you do it? any one?

This is a link to a corner link I think you want it was done using a pen tool you can saveit and open it in fireworks and you will see you could rotate and put it anywhere you want. I think this is whatyu may be looking for.http://www.usadjentertainment.com/images/title.jpg

Thanks Jberry

I would book you for a party

But I suspect Telford, shropshire, UK, may be too far for you to travel for one gig.

I will have another go at building one my self with the pen tool Thanks
