a young designer working for us made this speech bubble as part of a larger item ...
Consider the join or miter of the "pointy part"..
I'm thinking it might look poorly-done: it should be a tiny bit smoother (I guess using a spline for that join).
But .......... then I was thinking, perhaps that rather "crisp" look for a speech-bubble-pointy-thing may be best?
what (1) do you top experts think?
are there (2) any famous or classic speech-bubbles that one could take clues or standards from on this question?
As a related (3) question: I was trying to find the perfect article online regarding "everything a beginning designer should know about connecting lines properly" (by the way, I don't mean the mechanics of using those functions in Illustrator, I mean, the artistic and deisgn questions therein raised). Perhaps someone knows such a great article, I couldn't find one? (It would probably be titled something like "Don't just shove lines together!" :) )
{Note - additionally i feel the pointy-part is rather messy, so, it's not coming exactly centred off the tangent at the short axis of the ellipse, etc, but setting that aside I'm just interested in the question "what's the perfect join for the pointy part of an icon-like speech bubble?"}
Thanks!
