Tutorial images
Design below was created by selecting the initial color of red and then using the fill color settings for subsequent star layers (offset to create an emboss effect). This is also a quick and easy preset
The path above is a standard path and can have live effects such as blur and 3D bevel applied to it as a vector
The path can also be combined with new paths or even combined with multiple copies of the same star design. The example below shows three of the same paths combined but the paths have been scaled and layered on top of each other and slightly rotated to show the emboss design
The example below shows a slight modification from one of the many presets. The plug-in comes with presets and though they create interesting designs in themselves they are also useful as a starting point for exploration of the many 1000s of possible star designs. The design uses three layers of offset star paths along with a reduction in the color from layer to layer
The plug-in can be useful for creating many different star designs but it is also useful as a source for unique frame designs. Simply select the entire star, apply the pathfinder command to create an entire path and then remove the center, re-color as require and then use as a framing device or mask
The stars can be applied on their own but the stars can also be combined with other paths, see example below
The plug-in can even be used to create non-star themed designs by using some of the random features. Set the number of stars to create to greater than one and then set the random center option + random colors + random types of designs (and a few others for good measure) and many abstract colorful designs can be created.
