Homebrew matriculated's hombrew icons

[matriculated]

Yeah, I'm an art director at an ad agency. I think I'm a pretty average (at best) graphic designer so I'm trying to improve my improv skills and coming up with concepts as fast a I can. It's hard to design stuff in such a small and weirdly sized spaces and communicate abstract stuff like wads and channels.

Very true, still nice work.

Hmmm this solution may not be a good one, but you could perhaps make these as big as you want then we could just re size them using Irfan View:

You lose something when you scale down the art - lines get fuzzy due to antialiasing - it's best to work at the final size to take advantage of the sharpness of pixels. But I do most of the work using the vector tools and layer effects in Photoshop anyways so if I change the image size they scale up really well. So, theoretically, I could scale up any of these icons into poster-sized images and they be razor sharp.

keep it up man. These are top notch! Thanks a lot for sharing them with us (I will be using them ALL as replacements for the current icons)

If you are up for the challenge you could always go to somewhere like http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel_icons and start making new icons for everything listed........there are a lot but I can tell you enjoy your gift and so do we!

Thanks for pointing that out! Fixed!

I don't test all these icons out so if you guys are finding that some of the icons are hard to read because of the colours I'm using (light greens and blues seem to be a problem) give me a shout and I'll fix them.

You're welcome! I'm still working on the emulator ones - they take longer to do since I have to draw the controllers.
