In this little quick tip you will learn how to create a simple set of dark check button. First, Andrei Marius will create a small rounded rectangle using a simple rectangle and the Rounded Corners effect. Next, using some Pathfinder and alignment options along with a bunch of basic effects he’ll add the extra details and the check sign shape. Finally, he’ll use some new effects for the different types of buttons.
Hit Command + N to create a new document. Enter 600 in the width box and 200 in the height box then click on the Advanced button. Select RGB, Screen (72ppi) and make sure that the "Align New Objects to Pixel Grid" box is unchecked before your click OK. Enable the Grid (View > Show Grid) and the Snap to Grid (View > Snap to Grid). Next, you’ll need a grid every 1px. Go to Edit > Preferences > Guides > Grid, enter 1 in the Gridline every box and 1 in the Subdivisions box. You can also open the Info panel (Window > Info) for a live preview with the size and position of your shapes. Do not forget to replace the unit of measurement to pixels from Edit > Preferences > Unit > General. Al these options will significantly increase your work speed.
