How to Create an Icon – Video Tutorial

How to Create an Icon

So naturally I have to make sure there’s a few tutorials for creating Icons as well after posting my article about “Fonts”. I looked through some rather “Interesting” video tutorials before I finally settled for these. My hopes are to shed some light in this area as the “Creator” part almost never is shown and as a Designer I think it is way to important for any Designer to know and to implement in their daily work.

Nothing beats a newly created inspiring Icon or Font on a new site. I have seen so many sites that are using the plain Arial or some other mainstream font. Get creative…create what you inner eye tells you is Design. After all that what we are doing right?

Love these videos. I watched all 3. I really like how the focus is on being creative and using self-expression. This is most obvious in the first video. How inspiring! Thanks.

What is that tool they are using in the first video? The one where he put a sphere over the square legs and arms and somehow meshed them to create rounded edges.

Some time before, I really needed to buy a car for my corporation but I did not have enough cash and could not purchase something. Thank heaven my mate suggested to take the loans at creditors. Hence, I did so and was satisfied with my student loan.
