ICON DESIGN TUTORIALS

10 Mistakes in Icon Design - It is much easier to criticize somebody else’s work than to create something cool yourself. But if you apply a systematic approach to criticizing, make a numbered list and prepare illustrations, it will be regarded as a fully-fledged analysis! In my opinion, icon design is undergoing a transitional period. On the one hand, screen resolutions are increasing, hence enhancing icons. On the other hand, we still have good old pixels. Icons sized 16×16 and even smaller are still widely used. And so, here are the most commonly observed mistakes in icon design…

7 Principles of Effective Icon Design - Before approaching icon design, there are some guidelines and principles that are worth studying. If you want to create effective icon designs, then you should take a holistic approach to issues such as audience, size, simplicity, lighting, perspective, and style. This article gives you a good starting place for creating icons that work well together and fit seamlessly within your designs.

Are your icons working for you? - Icons and infographics are so integral to all GUIs (OS’s and online) that, like the street signs outside your window, we hardly notice them, even when we’re using them. And that’s exactly the way it really should be. The first time we see one it should help explain a concept behind a menu item, button or link — perhaps with a shopping cart silhouette next to a purchase option or a disk next to the ’save’ option. After the first time, we then tend to use them as flags or landmarks to move around interfaces we are familiar with.

Drawing an Icon: Sketches and Metaphors - Rejoice, our young fans of digital miniature! The festival has finally come to your town. Turbomilk in my person is starting a series of posts on how we draw icons: from the moment of placing the task and receiving an advance payment to sending the final versions to the customer. Eugene Artsebasov, our illustrator, was so kind to assist me.

Designing Effective Icons - Icons should be suggestive of the functionality with which they are associated. The best icon will suggest to the user the primary purpose of the program or operation without having to read accompanying text. Users recognize functionally suggestive icons more rapidly than other forms because they directly associate with a physical object or action.

How to Design Mini Icons - Numbers of people have asked me how to design my popular Mini Pixel Icon pack. In fact, they are relatively easy. All you need is just some basic Photoshop skills. Here I will show you how to use the Pencil tool to design pixel icons, and then re-use them to create a full collection. This is the technique that I used to create over 320 icons within a day.

How to Make Icons - This tutorial will follow the construction of an Icon for an imaginary application called “Keyfob.” We’ll say that it’s an application for locking and unlocking the Mac remotely. This is partly inspired by a process where someone managed to put their Mac to sleep using a mobile phone.

Icon Design: Bitmap vs Vector - PNG vs Vector icons explained Here at Firewheel, we create a boatload of icons, and one of the most common questions we get asked about icon design is, "Why do you deliver your icons individually sized in PNG or GIF files, when a single vector file like SVG or EPS can be made any size we desire?"

Icon Design Tip : Weight - Avoid cramming the 128×128 canvas with full-size square graphic. It’ll make your dock feel heavier and not balanced.

Icon Design : Sizing - One of the more deceptively time-consuming things you’ll do when creating an icon is producing out size variations. If you require a single icon in more than one size, the time you spend designing the first size is only about two thirds of the work you’ll end up doing; the other third lies in tweaking it for different dimensions.

Icon Analysis : Evaluating Low Spatial Frequency Compositions - Immediately recognizing danger to a school amongst lumber yards, garbage dumps, and plant nurseries is imperative; any time-slip in the search and discrimination task could delay notification and evacuation of hundreds of children. How then can we diagnose problems with icons that fail in this regard?

Icon Design Explained Quickly - Last night was a great Oxford Geek Night, with a good mix of topics. I particularly enjoyed ‘Designing a web app with character’ by Denise Wilton, not because I got a mention, but because she brought up concepts that saved me some time in the wee 5 minutes that I had to explain Icon Design!

Icon Resource Video Tutorials - Let yourself be taken by the hand through the world of visual interface design, and learn how to design icons for your own application, website, or company. Here a few reasons why it’s worth checking out.

The Making of an Icon - This won't be a tutorial or a step-by-step walkthrough, more like a general guideline based on my own experience. It's how my workflow crops up. Enough disclaimer, let's see if we can make an icon. To illustrate the creation of an icon, I've decided to redraw my old TextEdit icon from the bottom up.
