Icon Post #7 -- Classic Movie Posters
Sep. 23rd, 2008 08:00 pmI made the following 9 icons from classic movie posters. For most of these I did more than just crop the image--I swapped out the background entirely. The text comes from the movie (or poster) itself in many cases. Other textual sources are Ulysses by James Joyce and a Ray LaMontagne song.

Icon Post #1 -- Gift Icons
Sep. 10th, 2008 08:33 pmI've been making icons for a couple of years now. I originally started with GIMP but graduated to Photoshop CS2 after almost a year. Because I am self-taught, it was also nearly a year before I gained enough confidence to begin using or showing my icons to anyone.
In the past year or so, I've enjoyed the challenge of purposefully making icons at the request of--or as gifts for--others. Here are the gift icons I've made. They may not to be used without permission of the recipient.
