Colorful graphic art with an arrow-themed design.

Arrows get the point across.

An arrow is a tried-and-true way to get a viewer’s attention, whether you’re using it to point out the date on an invitation or identify a specific detail in an image for a class project. Here are a few ways to create arrows in whatever shape, style, size, and color you need to catch your audience’s eye

Make an arrow using the Line tool.

You can use the Line tool to create a perfectly straight line between two points you set. To access it, just click and hold the Rectangle tool on the toolbar until a menu pops up, then click the Line tool. All you need to make an arrow are three lines — one for the main body of your arrow and two to form the arrowhead at the front.

All arrows point to graphic design.

Now that you know how to create arrows in Photoshop, read up on tutorials to help you make full use of all the app’s features.
