Modular Icon Set Design with the Power of Vector

In the previous chapter, you designed a vector logo. When you design a logo, your aim is to create a single image of high quality. But when you design a set of icons, prepare yourself to create quality in quantity! In this chapter, you will create a modular set of nine icons for our project!

First, you will learn about icon set design and the different types of icons, then you will start by designing your first icon. Finally, you will move forward and create the whole set of icons in the most effective way possible, by cleverly implementing modular design, and reusing and redesigning your vector elements!

These are the main topics we will cover in this chapter:

  • Learning about icons and icon styles
  • Creating an icon is simple, but how about a whole set?
  • Designing the first icon and the building blocks of the set
  • Building the icon set using modular design
  • Exporting your icons
