“Everything Starts as a Square” is a book and video course that teaches you a simple method to designing icons that anyone can learn.
Before I learned how to design icons myself, I always imagined that they were drawn by hand using the pen tool, some sort of fancy graphics tablet, and hours and hours spent manually fine-tuning bezier curves.
But it turns out this isn’t how great icon designers work at all.
In “Everything Starts as a Square”, you’ll learn the systems experts use to create pixel perfect icons, without relying on a steady hand.
By the end of the book, you’ll have all the confidence you need to dig in and start creating beautiful icons that can hold their own against any of the sets you can find online.
Practical, role-specific training that teams can apply immediately
