better alignment

[jeskel]

Hi,
I haven't designed little icons for a while so I'm rusty... I need some advices. Check the little square in attachement. Done in dreamweaver. I feel like the arrow isn't wll aligned inside the square. It is about a one pixel problem... Any advices? Am I hallucinating?

thanx for the advices.

Reduce the canvas size by 1px from the right. Easy.

thanx for such a quick answer :thumbsup:

so you agree with the fact that it was not perectly aligned right? ;)

I'll try it in a few minutes. If no new posts that will mean everything is ok...

Just one px bigger than it should have been in width.

[jeskel]

should I reduce it or make it bigger?

[ionsurge]

That is up to you, and how you choose to use it. I personally would just shrink it by 1px from the right, but you can always increase it by 1px from the left, and it won't make a real difference in the finished item.

I will try both and see wich one looks better.

thanx ionsurge :thumbsup:

<edit>
follow up: I increased it 1px. The arrow had 'more air' like that. It looks just like I want now. Thanx again!
