files here. 1. Create a canvas of 700 x 200
2. Draw a rectangle at 600 x 70.
I chose the color of #AAAAAA. Once drawn center in
your document. (Commands> Document> Center in document).
3. Draw another rectangle at 500
x 60. Place it so that it roughly resembles the image
below. It does not need to be exact.
4. Select both objects and use the "Punch"
option. From the menu choose Modify> Combine> Punch.
We now have a 6 point rectangle.
5. Select the object the the "Subselection
Tool". With the object highlighted, select the inner
corner point and move it to the right (About 200 pixels).
It should look like the image below...
6. Now we will create the S-Curve. Select
the object so that it is highlighted. Select the "Pen
Tool" from the Tools Floating Panel. Click and hold
on the same point we used in the last step (inner corner).
With the mouse still being held down hold down the shift key.
Now move the mouse to the left to create our first curve.
It should look like the first image below. Do the same thing
with the button point but this time move the mouse to the
right to get the final curve. The end result is the S-curve.
7. Now that we have our S-curve all
set, lets add round ends to our graphic. Create a circle at
70 x 70 pixels. Place it on the left end of our object.
With our circle placed as it is above,
we will us the "Union" option to make it
apart of the graphic. Highlight both the circle and our main
graphic. (Edit> Select All). Now go to Modify> Combine>
Union.
Repeat step 7 on the right end of the
graphic. The end result should look like the image below.
