illustrator round corners: Easy Way to Add Softness to Your Designs
The sharp edges of a design can often feel too harsh and lacking in personality. That’s where Illustrator’s Round Corners tool comes in handy. By simply adjusting the corners of your shapes, you can quickly add softness and a touch of elegance to your designs.
To use the Round Corners tool, first select the object you want to modify. Then go to Effect > Stylize > Round Corners. A dialog box will appear where you can adjust the radius of the corners to your liking. Click OK and the corners of your object will be rounded.
If you want to apply the effect to multiple objects, select them all and go to Object > Expand Appearance. This will turn the effect into a permanent change to the object’s shape.
But the Round Corners tool isn’t limited to just basic shapes. You can also use it on more complex shapes, like text and logos. Simply outline the text or logo by going to Type > Create Outlines or Object > Expand, then apply the Round Corners effect as usual.
One thing to keep in mind when using the Round Corners tool is that too much rounding can make your design appear unprofessional. It’s best to use it sparingly and only when it adds value to the design.
In conclusion, Illustrator’s Round Corners tool is a quick and easy way to add softness and elegance to your designs. With just a few clicks, you can modify the corners of your shapes and create a more polished look. Just remember to use it in moderation and adjust the radius to your liking.
