this could be a very stupid question but how do you crop your icons? do you work in a great canvas or you prefer to put the cap inside a 100x100 canvas and resize the cap until you're satisfied with the crop?
I love how you achieve such deep reds in your icons. I'd love some pointers on how you get your icons to be so wonderfully contrasted and rich in colors like red. You're one of the best I've seen at making icons look so vibrant and pretty. :)
A general cropping guide would be wonderful! Maybe with some of this included?
Do you automatically see the crop in your mind when you pick out images, or do you just chose images at random and crop them with no idea or plan behind it?
Do you decide on one crop right way, or do you crop the image in different ways before deciding on one.
What are your thoughts on the different types of cropping, negative space, close crop, obscure etc. And what are some of your tips on each one, what to look for in images, how to crop to make it look balanced, how to not make it seem awkward, that sort of thing. And maybe you could include some example icon for each category and talk a little bit about how and why you decided to crop each in that particular way?
Do you color the image before you crop or the other way around.
Do you use the crop tool, the rectangular marque tool/free transform or maybe both? If it's just one, why do you prefer that one over the other?
Thank you! I'm very busy at the moment so I haven't had the chance to read it properly yet, but from looking through it quickly I can see that it's going to be a very interesting and useful read. :D
Oh, and I would love for you to share this tutorial/guide at good_tutorial. I remember I sent you an invite to that community a year or so ago, so you have posting access there :) It's just the kind of guide/tutorial I would like to see posted over there, I know people will learn a lot from it!
Thanks so much again, for taking the time to write it!
