![]() One star logo suitable for super hero powerful enough to take down Thanos and save the galaxy! Be sure to use Global Light so the same values are applied to both the stroke and fill.Īnd there you have it. You can click or drag the little proxy in the circle to play with the Angle and Altitude values and get different lighting on the star. Plus a stroke of the same color, aligned to the outside.Īnd finally, two separate Bevel and Emboss FX applied to the Fill and the Stroke. Select them with the Direct Selection tool, set the Reference Point in the Control panel to the center, then use the Scale controls to reduce the scale % which will move the selected points towards the center of the star. Now we need to move 4 of the points towards the center of the star, so they don’t stick out as much as the others. ![]() The rotation of the topmost object is kept when the two are merged and our star now thinks it’s at 0°. Then select both objects and click the Add button in the Pathfinder panel. The easiest way to do that is to draw a small no stroke no fill object inside the star. Then, so we don’t get confusing results when we start applying effects with angles, we need to reset the star to zero degrees, without changing its orientation. That’s 360° divided by the total number of sides on the star (16), which gives us the correct rotation of 22.5° With the star selected, enter 360/16 in the Rotation field of the Control panel. Next, we need to rotate it so one of the points is at the top. We need 8 points and an inset somewhere between 40–45% of the size of the star. This opens the dialog box where you can set the number of points and the Star Inset value. Start by double-clicking the Polygon Frame tool. In doing so you’ll pick up a few important InDesign FX techniques that you can use in other projects.) (Not that I expect you’ll ever actually need to make Captain Marvel’s star, but rather because, A. Jude Law sports an extra fancy bevel-on-bevel version.īut for starters I just wanted to figure out how to recreate the basic star on Brie Larson’s uniform.Īnd after a little noodling around, I came up with a decent approximation of it. Ah the ’90s…Īnyway, the second thing I wondered about was how to recreate the cool 8-point beveled star on the uniforms of the Kree and Captain Marvel. Funny how our hero was able to effortlessly establish communication across the galaxy from some spare Radio Shack parts, but in those days I had to manually cobble together a bunch of text boxes on a page to resemble a table. Turns out it was 3.2, which you can read all about at the indispensable Internet Archive. The first was which version of QuarkXPress was I using in 1995 (the year the movie was set). Fun movie, especially the bits with “ Goose” the cat/flerkin.Īnd since I tend to see the world through geek-colored glasses, I wondered about two somewhat ridiculous things as I sat in the theater. So like a few bajillion other folks, I saw Captain Marvel recently.
