Much of the design I do is as I am motivated. If I am motivated, I have to jump on it — I can’t spend a day planning, I just have to do it and do it naow *Arnold voice*.

Today I had one of those feelings. As I was designing an icon for my social media icon set, it hit me. I want to start sharing what I do with others, so I did it.

In this episode, I share my technique for creating smaller crisp vector shapes like you see on the social media icon set.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you thought of the tutorial and what I can do to improve in the future. Or don’t.

I’ve added 6 new icons to my ever-growing set of Social Network Icon Pack, bringing the numbers to over 130 icons!

Here are the new additions:

Thanks

I just want to say a personal thank you to all of you who have used my icons, commented on how much you love them, incorporated them into your designs and given me some link love back to my website. The adoption of my little icon set over so many pages on the internet has really encouraged me as a designer.

What’s next?

My next addition will contain Xbox (it’s coming Sam ;), Playstation and Wii icons…more suggestions?
