Well, I first started making 150x150 avatars for a roswell polar board, I have honestly made so many I couldnt count them all, then when I realised livejournal needed 100x100 icons to work I just started playing around with images I already had on my computer and caps I took from my favourite films, I made icons just for me, then progressed into stuff for others.

The last icons I made were a set of personal icons of my goofy teddy, I got a new camera and took some amazing bright and colourful shots and just had to use them...

ICONLIST JOURNAL FEATURE : MAY 2006 [28 Apr 2006|04:34pm] Journal: emoico Name: Nicola Info: Specialise in film, tv and abstract icons including Roswell, Dark Angel, Lost and most thriller films. Interested in colour, composition and text. I also offer Iconpacks of brushes and images for your icon making. Tell us a little about your background... Well im 22 and im currently a freelance graphic designer. I am usually found huddled over a computer working on my own graphics as well as squeezing in a few icons and other resources now and then. How did you get into icon making? Well, I first started making 150x150 avatars for a roswell polar board, I have honestly made so many I couldnt count them all, then when I realised livejournal needed 100x100 icons to work I just started playing around with images I already had on my computer and caps I took from my favourite films, I made icons just for me, then progressed into stuff for others. Can you remember the first and last icons youve made? I remember my first being a set of 'se7en' icons taken from caps. They are actually still some of my favourite icons. The last icons I made were a set of personal icons of my goofy teddy, I got a new camera and took some amazing bright and colourful shots and just had to use them... What do you use to make your icons? My head for starters, then possibly my 8.1samsung digi cam, photoshop 7 and illustrator 10. I sometimes use paint shop pro 7 for pixel work. What are your favourite personal icons youve made? (showcase 6 icons) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. This is from a set of gothika icons i did. I really love the image used and perspective of the elements. I used a pin light effect to get the image creamy. 2. This was done for a challenge and it came our pretty good, I use a filter system with a dark overtone, which is why the image looks lighter from the centre, I also have used brushes and a texture over the image. 3. This is from my tru davies set. I love the use of the brushes and the placement of the image, which is interesting in itself. The subject is placed in the center of the icon for a thirds effect. 4. This icon is taken from the sin city promo shots and has been recoloured and contrast to give a colourful and bright icon. 5. I love the colour overlay on this icon, and the type makes the icon all more elegant, thanks to some good brushes. 6. This icon, like the last uses a strong colour overlay to create a strong effect. I love how effective the white space on the left brings the focus over to the repeated image on the right. Do you have any trademarks or special techniques that follow through on your creations? I try not to make all my icons look the same. With my job consistency is the key and I want to stay far away from that with a such creative medium as icons. After all, if all my icons looked the same I wouldnt reach many people. I think that I make better icons if they are all to a good level and make you look twice. I suppose my use of type is usually a good sign that ive made them. Do you create any other type of graphics? Yup, I also create resoucre packs, wallpapers and any other type of graphic possible. Im usually quite fond of a graphical challenge. Who do you admire, icon making wise? wow... so may different users nowadays. There are so many talented designers. I suppose anyone who pushes the boundries admires me when it come to creating. Being an individual is so difficult to be in a vast of quality. Whats your favourite tool in your editing program? Definately the brush tool. To be completely honest, I couldnt create the icons i do without the amazing brushes I download from other creators, so thank you! Share a tip for others... If you are constantly doing a same technique with your icons, have a read up on actions if you use photoshop. Actions are basically a way to record what your doing to an image and then reply that action to any other image and get the same desired effect or outcome, its fantastic for cropping, resizing and sharpening images. post comment

It’s difficult to speak about my resources in English… I have no words…
