| ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Last message on previous page: Not looking bad though the usb stick bit (That goes in the usb port, I dunno what you call it) doesn't seem to be attached to the usb stick... It's in the right place and all, I just don't feel like they are together... more feels than looks you understand... it's hard to explain... Also the corner in the top right of the image (As you look at it) isn't rounded like the front and how I'd expect, and at the bottom of that side, It is sharper than the front looks, so to me it seems odd.  | |
rahul123 The GOLD STANDARD Profil: Penguin | "Corrected the curves to some extent as pointed by Ghost" Thanks Ghost  | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | No problem, what else am I here for? Looking good, keep 'em coming  | |

Asher Genius is not born , it is made.... Profil: Moderator | Very good work on that USB icon the metallic shading is nicely done , just some little things that can improve your icon : Instead of giving the hole icon a Drop-Shadow , try to put a slight shadow beneath it use a reflected white-transparent gradient at the lower part of USB instead of Inner-Shadow Remove stroke from the tip of USB . I think you have used stroke on a layer on which you already have used the anti-aliasing technique , you should always avoid stroking such layers

@ Ghost,Thanks @Asher,Thanks for the suggestions , i get the first and third point but what do you mean by "reflected white-transparent gradient", i followed the 1st and 3rd points and the icon now looks more better and i like to go for the second also before uploading modified icon, please can you explain that..  | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | At the bottom of the usb it looks like you have used an inner shadow, but instead you should draw a small white to transparent gradient to give the same but better effect... I'm not sure where the inner shadow is that needs replacing  | |
Asher Genius is not born , it is made.... Profil: Moderator | Instead of Inner-Shadow , just use a white to transparent gradient and select 'reflected' as the gradient type I hope you understand now  | |
rahul123 The GOLD STANDARD Profil: Penguin | @ASHER, i just called myself with a new name "Mr. Dumbo" , actually i got confused by "reflected", i have also used it a number of times but don't remember the name, that's why i asked. Anyways the USB icon looks better now .. Modified USB icon And PHONE ICON  Ghost, Phone is for you my friend  | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Wow... that phone icon is truly amazing... big, but amazing... The picture you've put on it is really good, the ripple effect is really good... the stylus is unbelievable... and that middle button is beautiful...  Oh, and the usb looks better  | |

I have noticed that you are making icons in different sizes and proportions , it doesn't show consistency just try to make them in same sizes and keep the proportion same 
|
Good point, I agree. Consistency is pretty important once making a full icon set. | |
rahul123 The GOLD STANDARD Profil: Penguin | Yes the phone is kinda flat, i tried to add thickness but failed, please give any trick without transforming of phone, because i am creating every icon a bit 3d and this one goes off.. "I upload my icons here by resizing in the set all will be 500x500, but some icons cannot be too small like this phone, but i keep consistency point in my mind, thanks " Usb icon with gradient modification EDIT: I think i got it, i added some thickness at the top of the phone and perhaps i might get it done  EDIT: A microphone (i know it needs improvments ) | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | I think the bottom edge of the microphone should be rounded slightly, it seems too flat. And the top reminds me of a golfball  Phone's looking better though the reflection doesn't seem right somehow... | |
rahul123 The GOLD STANDARD Profil: Penguin | Thanks Ghost, the flat base is because the microphone cannot stand like that with a round base, that's why and yeah the top is similar to golf ball but it is working well for the microphone What is wrong with the reflection of pen(as i got because nothing else has reflection)?
| |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Well.. I wouldn't expect the outer parts of the phone (The thin black rim etc) to reflect the pen, as they don't have the crystallisation, and also the reflection seems opaque to me  And I understand it needs a flat base But I mean it should be rounded so that it is a circular base, from that perspective point I would have thought it would be curved slightly to show a flat ( ) circular base. | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | Great work, especially love the HTC icon.  | |

You may reduce the opacity of the stylo's reflection, put it like 30% or something.
