Summary

In this chapter, you built matching icons for an icon set. At the start of the process, you learned about the theory of icon design, and how to implement that in a fast and creative way in vector. Then, you moved forward and created each of the line art icons you can use in the following chapters. This was a practice in not just designing icons with similar features but working with the Path tools and creating line art in Inkscape.

Adding and removing segments of a path while maintaining structure is a key part of icon design and vector design in general, and so is exporting the final design into different formats and exporting multiple files effortlessly. This chapter focused on icons, but as you can see, it also focused on creating images in quantity as efficiently as possible.

We will continue to explore more possibilities in the next chapter, where you will learn to use complex illustration techniques in Inkscape!
