The pen tool is a signature Adobe tool which is extremely helpful in adding custom shapes in graphic design projects. The pen tool feature is included in Adobe InDesign, and here’s how you can put it to use.
Step 1:
You can find the pen tool on the left panel.
Step 2:
Click on the pen tool and create your desired shape and fill it with colour to create a frame.
Step 3:
You add images and content to the frame.
Step 4:
Right click on the image > Fitting > Fit frame proportionally to make sure the image you add remains within the boundaries.
This is how you can use the pen tool and create custom shaped frames in Adobe InDesign. This is an extremely useful feature for magazines and brochures to create the curved shaped frame that we usually see. Follow us for more such content.
