Icon 72
(Shutdown) Tonight we will do almost exactly the same as yesterday, but with different graphics. This is a good example of how you can re-use the same techniques and get good results with very simple changes. | ||
Step 1: First things first, we copy the Suspend icon and delete the moon. I also change the background to Black and Red. |
Step 2: Once again I use a few circles and a rectangle to create a "Power" symbol. |
Step 3: Now just like yesterday we use the Perspective tool, give our Power Symbol a bit of perspective. I also use the Contour tool to give the moon a "poor mans bevel" |
Step 4: Now with the Contour tool I give the Power symbol an inner contour to give it the appearance of depth. We also give the moon a nice bit of gloss. |
Step 5: Now we give the symbol, including its bevel, a standard drop shadow, dropping it pretty much straight out to the left. |
Step 6: As it seems to almost always be our last step, we give the new icon a new Reflection. |
Finished Icon Design. |

Tomorrow we will wrap
up this little set of "Start" icons with the Log Off icon, check back in then.
