Three for the price of One.

| Icon 27, 28 & 29 (Shared Folders) Today we will use several elements that we did over the last few tutorials. Lets put together the "Shared Folders", My Video, My Music & My Pictures. | ||
| Step 1a: For these icons we will re-use the little guys we made yesterday, as well as our My Video, My Music, and My Pictures Folders. .jpg) |
Step 2a: The Shared Video Folder is going to be easiest, I simply move the reel to the inside of the folder and give it a standard drop shadow. .jpg) |
Step 3a: I move the folder front back in place, and put a copy of the Admin overlay on top. Finished Icon Image .jpg) |
| Step 1b: For the Shared Music folder I just delete the Red note, form the My Music Folder, and place the Blue notes inside the folder. I also make the Green note bigger. .jpg) |
Step 2b: I copy our Admin Overlay over the folder and tweak the reflection with the Node Edit tool to make sure it looks right. I also Tweak the size and skew of the Green note, to make sure it looks good. .jpg) |

| Step 1c: For the Shared Pictures folder I rotate the paint brush and lay it down in front of the folder. I also delete the originals reflection and paint stroke. .jpg) |
Step 2c: I use the mesh fill tool to make a new brush tip. .jpg) |
Step 3c: Now I adjust the glare bitmap a bit with the Node Edit tool to polish it off. .jpg) |

I ran into the bug too, trying to upload some icons I made with Photoshop (until I learn CorelDRAW, which seems a bit more in line with my style for the making of icons and other graphics).
Hope to upload a package sometime this year made completely in CorelDRAW, maybe even a WB if I get the hang of it.
Thanks, Teach.
