Inkscape: Is one of the most used FREE Vector Art software, with a wide array of options and tools. Whether you are an Illustrator, Designer, Web designer or just someone who needs to create some Vector Graphics, you will find this tool very Easy to use. Here are some of the features:

  • Flexible drawing tools

  • Broad file format compatibility (Export in PNG, SVG and more!)

  • Powerful text tool

Progressive Learning Experience: Then it's time to get our hands dirty! We'll begin by Designing simple Icons in Black and white, then go through some Basic Colors and Shadows,further progress to Soft Shadows and Colorful Icons and finally wrapping everything up with Gradients. This Learning Curve will help you improve your Icon Design skills step by step without huge jumps in difficulty and complexity. We believe that making the Content of this Icon Design Course accessible to anyone is very important, and are constantly improving the course with New videos to further soften the Learning Curve.


Create your own Icons! We don't want you to just follow blindly, so you are free (and encouraged!) to take your spin on the Icons we'll be Designing. We try our best to diversify the Techniques and Themes of the Videos so we keep the Icon Design practice Fun and Challenging! Create your own Vector Graphics that you'll be able to use later on in your Website, Mobile or Computer App, or just for fun!  


Icon Design Assignment: We're also giving you a Practical Assignment as part of the Course, where you'll be making an Icon from a randomized table. This we'll keep you focused on using your acquired skills and techniques while putting them to use right away! We believe it's important to improve your Icon Design skills by practising.

This course is great. However it could be better with more quizzes and more of an emphasis on using hotkeys.

Great Course, just what I needed. The examples are great fun and well explained. Sometimes the instructor is very quickly, but as it is a video you can move forward frame by frame to see where the mouse pointer is going, to figure out what she did. One thing I missed was explaining how the bezier tool is handled, so when to click, when to drag or when just to move the mouse. But then again: the examples are really outstanding and well structured from easy to quite complex. Overall this is a great course and I recommend it to anyone interested in icons or infografics! Its amazing what beautiful icons you can make with just a few basic shapes!! Thanks a lot, Patricia and Miguel!!
