Magnificent Seven icons
These were the first set of icons I ever made! The challenge was to make 100 icons according to the categories provided at 10x10variated. I kind of fell down with the stock icons part and didn't have a clue what to do, but here they all are anyway -

It was a good learning experience!

Comment and snag if you like them. Textless icons are not bases.



First Ten: Use only the original images, changing the color only and nothing else. Color each icon differently, using different color fill layers or adjustment layers. No text, textures, gradients, brushes, or stock images allowed.

Second Ten: Every icon must have readable text on it. As well, every icon must have a different font. Do not use fonts that are excessively popular at the time

Third Ten: Use a texture on every icon. A different texture must be used on each one.

Fourth Ten: Every icon must include a stock image. NO CLOUDS! I cannot stress this enough, clouds have been so overdone! lol There are many more stock images you can use.

Fifth Ten: Rotate the images. This can be done any way, upside down, to the right, the left, caddy cornered, whatever.

Sixth Ten: Images must be black and white.

Seventh Ten: On each icon, use one effect feature from the Effects menu in your Photoshop or Paintshop.

Eighth Ten: Every icon must be less than 100x100 pixels. (i.e. The sides must be uneven.)

Ninth Ten: Every icon must use one popular icon trend that is hot at the time. This changes frequently but it will be easy since you see these trends everywhere.
