Ask the maker 4.0!

[aida_rose]

It's time to kick off our 4th round of Ask the Maker! here at icon_talk

Here you'll get the chance to ask icon makers who sign up questions about their icons and other graphics. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions regarding their work so the makers can compile a Q&A post with the answers to all the questions they get. As

What can we request from you: I'll give you anything as long as I still have the psd. That means guides, Q&A, & tutorials are all game. :3
Can we hotlink your icons?: Sure.

How? Just how? :P

In all seriousness, how do you decide on colour schemes for your icons? And how long do you reckon you spend on each one?

Just cuz I'm curious, what is your thought process when you make any graphic? Do you usually have a plan or is it just something spontaneous?

I would love just a general composition or text guide! I love the complexity and text in your icons :)

Some of my favs (if it helps/matters):

Have you ever made a font guide before? I'd love to have a list of all your favourite and most-used fonts!

I'd also be really into a tutorial for this if you've still got the psd, because I'm in awe of everything about it!

Okay but if I could get a tut on this icon it'll be great C:

I know everyone is begging for it, so I'm just going to chime in for a composition guide! Totally interested in your thought process etc while making such funky compositions, what sorts of stuff you pull your inspirations from, if anything, etc etc :D
