StardockIconPackager510032FINALFULLTESTED Icons are mostly used to provide visual support for your app, but they are also vital to the success of your product. They add interest and fluidity to your design, and can add an air of professionalism. Icon packs by themselves don't cost you anything - what matters is the creativity that is involved when you start creating icons on your own. That's why we've put together this post all about how to create icon packs in Adobe Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC. If you're making icons for an app, it's time to get down to business. As long as your icons are in line with the style of the app that they are being used for, there are no restrictions on what can or cannot be done. If you are working towards a set of icons, here is a list of basic steps that you would follow: 1) Make sure that your design is done in Photoshop so far before starting on Illustrator, since most designers start by making the icons in Photoshop. If you have finalized your designs in Photoshop before moving on to Illustrator, skip ahead to Step #4. 2) Open up Illustrator and create a new document (Command+N). Select your artboard by pressing Command+A to select all. Set the dimensions of your icon using the Summary Options, and then press OK. 3) Import your icons into Illustrator by selecting File > Place (Command+D). A new window will open up. Select the icon you want, hit Place, change your dropdown to Into Artboard, and click OK. For this tutorial we won’t be creating an entirely new icon pack; we’ll be using the popular Font Awesome icons for demonstration purposes. You can download them here (you’ll need a paid account to download them). 4) Once your icons are imported, use Command + A to select them all. With all of the icons selected, press Command + G to convert them into a single shape. Give the new shape a name that you can easily identify with, and then press enter or return. In this case we’ll be naming it fawe. 5) Now we’ll start filling in our new shapes. We’re going to insert one of Font Awesome’s more popular icons: the social networking icon. To do so, go back to your artboard and select the text tool (T). In the top bar, click on the icon that looks like a capital A with a smaller A to its left. In the new box that opens, navigate to your Font Awesome icons folder and select fa-twitter. Once you’ve selected it, click open in order for it to be pasted in your artboard. 6) Repeat Steps 4 and 5 in order to complete the rest of your designs. eccc085e13
