Just found your channel yesterday. Thanks for the great video. For those of us that don't have access something like Affinity Designer, is there any way to do this IN pro? Or possibly a web tool that can do it? I'll have to see if my work has any similar graphics tools that we can use.
Welcome to the community and I’m glad you found this helpful! As far as importing the raw SVG’s into Pro, absolutely. You don’t have to do the “conditioning” steps. But if you want to make your own custom icon shapes using vector graphics tools, you will need something that can create an SVG. I’ve been hard pressed to find as robust a solution at the price point (and one time purchase) of Affinity Designer. Keep an eye out, as they often run sales. There are several other options out there like InkScape or GIMP to author custom SVG’s. I’ve definitely got InkScape icon design on the list of possible videos in the future.
@@CartoRedux thanks, it's not really a price issue it's the limitations of what we can install from my employer. I'll have to look through our software catalog and see if there's something we can use, thanks.
I agree the follow up to this video is long overdue. How did you find the process of importing the SVG’s? Was it straight forward and well documented? Or were there any confusing parts in the process?
More absolute gold. Thanks Tommy! I didn't know about Google Material. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks man! So many great resources out there 🤓
This was a super helpful video! It made the idea of creating custom symbols way less intimidating
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Tommy, great one there! When is the follow-up? Eager to see that juice drop.
