  • An important aspect of icon design is pixel precision. It's a fundamental concept that needs to be understood.
    Every screen uses pixels, and your icons should align with them in order to be of the highest quality. I dive into why this subject is so important, what you can do right now to improve the quality of your icons, and how you can continue to master pixel precision moving forward.

    Awesome video Kyle, thank you, I was always wondering how to get that sharp look on icons. I will also add that working on layers in the pixel view and bringing to the front elements that you want to look sharper will help, for example a white line.

    Wowww I've always wondered why my recolored icons looks different from Icon Finder. This will definitely up my design game! :)

    Curious about your approach on hollow icon. It'll be great to see how you use stroke, combining the stroke weight, and aligning the stroke. Thank you. Keep up the good work, Sir.

    Kyle, that was great. I learned quite a bit that I can use, even outside of icon design! Really looking forward to more :)
    I'd personally like to learn about how to make icons that actually look like the thing I'm going for. I'm not great at drawing, so if I were to try and make, say, that toolbox icon you showed, I wouldn't' know how to go about making sure it actually looks like a toolbox! Do you just rely on your artistic skill, or do you have a process you follow?

      Kyle Adams Lynda.com is saturated, if you can - always step by step - show how design icons in Illustrator, I think your video are even better.

    Thank you for this video! May i ask you a question? I use all settings to my document, but now i can not draw a perfect ellipse. I mean in pixel preview it draw only dark black pixels, without smooth grey pixels and it looks horrible. Can you help me with this problem, please? What i did wrong? Maybe i can sent you print screen?
