Real / literal set od icons
Saturday, September 24, 2011 by GeoHoward | Discussion: Icons
Ok, so I've been thinking about this, and I can't make them worth a... You get the picture.
I was trying to make an icon set that was more literal and realistic. I mean, media player icon was a little Pioneer deck. Explorer was a real backpack. My computer was a little PDA, and when you clicked one of the three buttons on it it opened different things. the home button was my computer, the right arrow would be your library, and the left arrow would open a google page.
The recycle bin would be a real paper shredder. You get the picture...
I can't get any of the animations right... help?

If you're just making this for yourself, and not seeking to distribute it, then use Google Images (or the like) and find 'real' images (the smaller the better, use an image manipulation program to reduce them to the desired size/s and then save them and enjoy. You might choose a program that will allow you to introduce transparency/background eraser function.... etc.
