Help Creating Arrows

[codeoverride]

I need to create arrows like these:

The side ones are the main problem.. I think that I've seen preset arrows that look like that. Are there any in Photoshop or Illustrator? I don't know how to make these turning arrows

Thanks!!!!

You can do these in Photoshop or Illustrator by using the pen tool. I'd probably use Illustrator or fireworks. I prefer the vector based shapes in those to the way PS handles shapes.

Yeah.. I understand that I can do it from scratch but I was wondering if there was an easier way because I'm pretty slow drawing it out in Illustrator. Thanks

There is no magic way of doing it aside from tracing the arrows in your attached photo.

Thanks for the replies.. I guess I'm just feeling lazy. I was pretty sure that I had seen a similar arrow to use as a starting point.. oh well..

Cut it out in PS then use Live Trace in AI. Shouldn't requite too much cleanup to get it looking like you want it.

These are Vectors, so you could probably manipulate them to the size and shape that you need.

Process

Procedure shouldn't be that hard. I mostly trace all my Myspace smileys from scratch before adding them to the smileys and icons folder to keep them all in one spot.
