+Clayton Ball its a glimpse of my layers in Photoshop…. minus a few that i've compressed for this example… Just so that ppl know its not as easy as copy/paste
+Kevin Beegan yup… to be honest, in a more complex style layers can go up to the 100's… i know it sounds extreme… but making icons IS a extreme design sports.
That's the part I can't fathom. Each of your 15 or 1600 icons is done this way from scratch? Or is there a starting point where there all the same. Like you set the guidelines for your computer initially then they're automated to a certain point? Hope that makes sense.
+Jesús Hernández Most of my time is spent Teaching the computer to make one icon. When its done it moves on to apply what's thought to all the other 2000 icons while i look around me and get inspired for my next idea.
+Brandon Feldmeier my automation factory is mandatory. Without it what i made so far would of taken 19.5 years…. Believe me sir… Automation does NOT equal easy… its intense.
+Andy V Because Tha Phlash is the Flash in disguise, why you think he has his super hero mask with shades on!!! 😀 If you see him work live, you could be in position to snip your fingers & before you're done doing so he's already finished and please note that that would ONLY be 2000 icons + in between he the finger snip he has done the title art work, a coffe break and took and went to the store shopping
+Phlash Tha I don't know that much about Photoshop……i've learned to make logos in corel draw can they be made in corel? Or if u hav any tutorial of how to do icons in Photoshop that wud help 🙂 Thanks in advance.
Yes +Andy V … im very fortunate to have these opportunities … +Mohammed khuzaima i cant really help you before you get some basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop on the adobe website.. then … only then… get back to me ill do my best to help and answer your questions…
