1.1 Introduction

Welcome to Icon Design. In this course you will learn how to use Adobe Illustrator to create icons for web and interface design. You will also learn how to plan and design icons for communication and how to render light, shade, color and perspective. During the course we will be creating two sets of icons, one in a simple glyph style—which is great for beginners—and one that’s a bit more advanced if you’re looking for a challenge.
