Awesome list here. Just curious why to design icons in PhotoShop? Not vector graphic?
Dainis,
If I spent much time designing icons I would probably use Illustrator. I can’t speak for others, but my guess is that many people are just more skilled and more comfortable with Photoshop.
Actually that could be right, if I think a bit, then I agree – PS just now is standard application where everybody starts first steps in design.
Great list ! Thanks you very much
