Making an Icon Set
So many things we interact with every day are represented by Icons. An Icon is a small graphic used to represent something without using words. When we see icons we could culturally know their significance- for example the signal of the walking person or hand shown when to cross the street or stay put- or we could learn their significance through usage.
Your icon set must be:
- At least 6 icons in total. It can be more, but you must have a MINIMUM of 6
- Not just a regular picture, it must have some kind of overlay, text or change made to it in photoshop
- A cohesive set, meaning that it fits in with the other icons in the set both content wise and visually
Remember some of the things you were shown in Photoshop last week; if you have a specific question or vision for your icon set, ask us and we can tell you how to accomplish it.
