Jory Raphael, in January:
I love designing icons. So I’m going to design one (at least) new icon every day in 2013. Each new icon will be available to download as a free png. I’m excited to see how this project progresses. I already have a few ideas for making it fun, including the occasional process video and perhaps some fun ways to choose what icons I make next.
Ultimately the icons will be added to the sets on Symbolicons.com, but I’ll be posting the new ones right here on sensibleworld.com. I can’t promise that posts will be at a consistent time, so follow me on twitter to be notified when they’re up.
I’ve never attempted such a regimented (daily) challenge. I’m equal parts excited and nervous. Wish me luck!
173 icons later, he’s followed through with his goal. So far, they have been awesome. I can’t wait to see what’s coming the rest of the year.
Jory is a designer and illustrator based in Vermont, where he runs his design shop - Sensible World. His awesome work includes all of the show art for the 5by5 podcast network, the amazing vector icon set called Symbolicons (I use these in my web designs and iOS apps), and Notabli, a new social network startup for parents.
If you would like a cool set of free icons, just follow him on Twitter for each day’s release.
Why did I wait this long to tell you about Jory’s Year of Icons? Well, a whiskey glass seemed like a good place to start. Another great starting point is his superhero icon series.
