Use this interactive demo to learn how to draw a star in Adobe InDesign.

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to draw a star using anchor points in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To draw a star in Adobe InDesign, go to the left-hand toolbar and click the 'Pen' Tool.
  2. Using the tool, add your first anchor point, which will serve as the starting point for drawing your star.
  3. Keep adding points until the anchor points form a star shape.
  4. Close the shape by clicking your starting anchor point.
  5. You have successfully drawn a star in InDesign using anchor points.

📌 Why this matters

Creating custom stars with the Pen Tool gives you complete control over shape proportions and angles, unlike the default Star Tool which limits you to preset configurations. You can design everything from subtle five-pointed stars to complex multi-pointed celestial shapes that match your exact vision.

This manual approach becomes invaluable when working with brand guidelines that specify precise star dimensions, or when creating decorative elements that need to align perfectly with other custom graphics in your layout.
