Shapes
Using the shapes option in the toolbar on the left, duplicate the shapes on the page. Remember you can draw perfect circles and squares by holding the shift key as you drag. You can also draw a shape from the middle by holding the alt key as you drag. Holding the shift and alt key as you drag does both previous operations at the same time.
Polygons and Stars
To create polygons and stars of different configurations you will start by choosing the appropriate shape in the dialogue box. Insted of clicking and dragging start by clicking on the page which opens a second dialogue box that offers an option for the number of points on a star, or the number of sides on a polygon.
