While creating the google plus icon recently I started to explore creating other icons.

I managed to create a fair list and If im honest I only tackled the easy ones :) but if you look at the file you’ll see I used the same basic method on all icons to create the shine effect.

In short it can be broken down into these steps.

  1. Create gradient fill (brand colour mixing into lighter colour).
  2. Add a “inner glow” with a darker or similar shade of the brand colour.
  3. Add a border colour thats darker or similar shade of the brand colour.
  4. Once you’ve got the logo shape then apply a drop shadow with a darker or similar shade of the brand colour

Below is the list of Icons in the source file.

  • Google Plus
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Linkedin
  • Myspace
  • RSS
  • Pod Cast
  • Quora
  • Flickr
  • Yahoo
  • Digg
  • WordPress

The good people at Macworld has reviewed Adobe Fireworks CS3 and have given it thumbs up.

If you design and develop Web sites, you can’t afford not to use Fireworks CS3.

See the article here.

Also, Adobe products will be compatible with Leopard.

In the meantime, I am waiting for my copy of Adobe Fireworks CS3 to arrive at my doorstep. I have been using Fireworks 8 for all my tutorials to date, just for your information.

Can anyone highlight any improvements that you find significant?
