Hello InDesign people, we're going to look at rounded corners.

2
00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:12,030
We're going to do it to this box that we did with

3
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:15,630
this cool transparency and just do one corner, like this guy.

4
00:00:15,630 --> 00:00:17,520
You can also do full round corners and

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,440
all these other weird corners that you probably never going to use.

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,170
So let's go and look at rounded corners in InDesign.

7
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:27,480
So we're going to practice with a box over here.

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,930
So grab your rectangle tool and click hold,

9
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:32,600
drag it out box, give it a fill color and no stroke.

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,890
I'm going to give it a fill of green hat red and I'm going to give it a stroke of none.

11
00:00:38,885 --> 00:00:40,985
Rounded corners, grab the black arrow,

12
00:00:40,985 --> 00:00:45,295
click on this and you've probably always wondered what the hang this things full.

13
00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:48,280
It is for editing the corners, give it a click,

14
00:00:48,275 --> 00:00:51,845
and nothing happens, but you get these diamonds in the corner,

15
00:00:51,845 --> 00:00:53,545
so grab one of the yellow diamonds.

16
00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:58,270
Let's grab the top, click hold and drag to the left end.

17
00:00:58,265 --> 00:01:01,205
You, my friends now I have rounded the corners,

18
00:01:01,205 --> 00:01:03,265
so if you end up clicking off by accident,

19
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:05,530
click back on, click the square,

20
00:01:05,525 --> 00:01:07,375
it launches that diamonds,

21
00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:10,520
which you can go back and start dragging left and right,

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,650
not up and down, and increase them up a little bit.

23
00:01:12,650 --> 00:01:14,430
Let's look at the different kinds of corners.

24
00:01:14,430 --> 00:01:16,640
By default, it's two-rounded corners,

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120
but you can see by that little popup window here,

26
00:01:19,115 --> 00:01:23,435
you can hold down the "Alt" key on a Mac "Option" key backwards.

27
00:01:23,435 --> 00:01:26,485
It is ocean key on a Mac and Alt key on a PC.

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Give it a click and you get pixel space invaders version of the corners.

29
00:01:31,235 --> 00:01:32,485
I have never used themes.

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,060
Keep holding down that key "Option" on a Mac,

31
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:37,380
Alt on a PC, keep clicking.

32
00:01:37,375 --> 00:01:39,515
You get those ones,

33
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:41,750
you get those ones,

34
00:01:41,745 --> 00:01:45,235
and eventually they pop back into the corners and you've got to let

35
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:48,200
go of option and drag them back out again, it's up to you.

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,110
Now one of the things we're going to do is show you how to do them individually.

37
00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:53,750
So I'm going to click and drag them back into the corner as

38
00:01:53,750 --> 00:01:56,390
far as it'll go and it'll get them back to being nice sharp corners.

39
00:01:56,390 --> 00:01:58,850
Now if you hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard,

40
00:01:58,850 --> 00:02:02,770
hold it down and then start dragging to the left. Like that.

41
00:02:02,765 --> 00:02:04,835
It will become one corner only,

42
00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:08,180
and this happens quite a bit with these kind of factoid things.

43
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:10,850
I'm going to click on this,

44
00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:12,650
to get the corners, hold down,

45
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:17,470
shift, grab this one and make this a rounded corner.

46
00:02:17,465 --> 00:02:19,205
We're going to put a little pull coat,

47
00:02:19,205 --> 00:02:21,985
or little factoid in there.

48
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:26,110
That's where maybe this corner one becomes "O" case and click on this one,

49
00:02:26,105 --> 00:02:30,135
drag, it's just this one.

50
00:02:30,135 --> 00:02:32,635
I'm going to hold down my what was it?

51
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:34,600
Alt key or the Option key,

52
00:02:34,595 --> 00:02:38,055
and then you could do something like that.

53
00:02:38,050 --> 00:02:41,540
The cool thing about that is it's part of

54
00:02:41,540 --> 00:02:45,340
it and it can be resized and all other nice things.

55
00:02:45,335 --> 00:02:47,065
That is rounded corners,

56
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:50,860
let's move on to the next one where we looked at maybe some drop caps,

57
00:02:50,855 --> 00:02:53,255
drop caps, cool. Let's go do that.
