Rotate the points and only the points of a star
How would I go about making a star like in the image? I'm trying to acheive a star with the points rotated but no anything else. Almost as if the star is spinning.
This is one way.
Use the Star tool to draw a star shape. If you keep your mouse down as you are drawing the star you can use the up and down arrows on the keyboard to increase or decrease the number of points. And if you continue to keep the mouse button down without releasing it, you can hold down Ctrl and drag in towards the center or away from the center to change the inset. OR, you can simply click on the artboard with the Star tool and type in the numbers you want. These are the numbers I used:
With the Direct Selection tool select all of the anchor points except for one.
Click the Convert Anchor Point icon in the options bar.
With the Direct Selectiont tool, select the remaining anchor point and click the Convert Anchor point tool. This will give you the rounded points as in your example.
With the Selection tool (black arrow), select the whole object.
Choose Effect > Distort Transform > Twist.
