Icon Design Overview
This section will familiarize you with the new Windows XP style
in preparation for creating your icons.
Icon Style Characteristics
Color is rich and complementary to the Windows XP look. Angle and
perspective provide a dynamic energy to the images. Edges and corners
of elements are soft and slightly rounded. Light source is coming
from the upper left-hand corner with additional ambient light illuminating
other parts of the icon. The use of gradients provides dimension
and gives the icon a richer look. A drop shadow provides contrast
and dimension. Outlines provide definition. Everyday objects, such
as computers and devices, have a more modern consumer look.
