31 Icon Design Tutorials

Icons can come in incredibly handy for both web and print design. They are a great and very simple way to add graphics to text areas, overall making it a much easier and better experience for the user.

There are a lot of icon tutorials on the web that are specifically for Adobe Illustrator, mainly because its vector image capabilities allow you to scale your finished icon up and down to the size of a pin-head or the muscles of the Incredible Hulk. However, if you know what the purpose for your icon is going to be (i.e. you know you're not going to want it any bigger than, lets say, 128x128px) designing it in Photoshop is not a problem, in fact, in some cases, it's a lot easier! Therefore in this article I have collected 31 magnificent icon tutorials specifically for those who know the purpose of their icons, only have Photoshop to work with or are simply more confident and skilled in Photoshop. Enjoy!
