Meaning in 10 pixels square.
[ Posted by Dan on June 05, 2002 | 0 Comments ]
It's amazing that these tiny icons can actually convey their meaning within a 10 by 10 pixel square. I've been working on a set of 20 plus icons for a web app, and have been struggling with how to use 25 pixels square effectively. I have more than twice the space and probably do a less effective job at conveying the meanings I need to iconify. But, I'm trying to keep my lines anti-aliased in my set, which puts me at a huge disadvantage, so what are ya gunna do?
Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends).
