Icon Making Tutorial Challenge.

Friday, April 2, 2004 by mormegil | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

On IRC today the Idea was brought up of making a nifty tutorial For making Icons.

A lot of people use different Programs to make Icons, I would like to put together a Group of Tutorial showing how to make a Icon, with certain Criteria, in each of these programs.

I am Volunteering to do the CorelDraw Tutorial.

So here is the Criteria.

1) Must Be a folder

2) Must Show Transparency

3) Must show Gloss

4) Must Show Shadow

5) The finished Icon must Contain, but not be limited to 128x128, 48x48, 32x32, & 16x16 WindowsXP formats.

The rest is up to you.

The Idea here is to answer a lot of questions that we all see, in our inboxes, and on the message boards. And I think it would be kind of fun to see what we come up with. I think for simplify we should just make our tutorials As Text Files with, Numbered Screenshots. We can put them all together when everyone is done in a nice HTML file and post in several places.

If you are interested Please White me back ASAP. I would like to have the entire project done in the next few weeks. Include What Program you would like to use.

AS it is now we have.

CorelDRAW Mormegil (Paul Boyer)

FirwWorks DigitalCHET (AL)

PS. This is not a Stardock Sponsored thing, just something that I think would be cool. And fun for all of us.

That is because a SVG is vector. It should bake a perfect 1280x1280 as well.

I''ve just finished up a BootSkin tutorial to get the hang of writing tutorials so I''ll get started on the Icon Creation in Fireworks tutorial now. I imagine it''ll be rather lengthy.
Anyways, if you''re interested in creating BootSkins check it here http://www.wstaylor.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=391 .
