Now you’ll create a center bubble for the radiating lines. The bubble should be
located exactly in the center of the radiating lines, and for that, you can turn to the
Align panel. The Align panel, as you might guess, aligns any number of selected
objects horizontally or vertically. It can also distribute objects evenly.
1 Select the Oval tool.
2 Select a brown color for the stroke and no fill. To select no fill, choose the color
box that has a diagonal red line through it. Select Hairline for Stroke Style.
3 Select the coffee aroma layer. Hold down the Shift key while you draw a small
circle on the Stage.
4 Now select the Selection tool.
5 Drag the Selection tool over both the star-shaped group and the newly drawn
oval. You might have to lock the lower layer so you don’t accidentally select the
shapes in the lower layers.
6 Open the Align panel (Window > Align).
7 Click the Align horizontal center button.
The star-shaped group and the oval become aligned horizontally.
