August 2014 Free Giveaway

Icon Graphic! 25 Free Vector Icons by Bouton

Twenty-five Vector Icons

by Gary Bouton (Gare online)

Take a look at a score plus five interesting, editable, scalable vector icons Gary has created for the Xara Xone this month. By the way, if you do a search in “picture to icon maker”, there’s dozens of free online services. Or here’s a weird way: export any of the icons from Xara as BMP or PNG files. Open MS Paint and save the picture with the *.ico file extension. This doesn’t produce a multiple resolution ico file, but you can’t beat the price. Have fun!

Show us how you use icons in the TalkGraphics Xara Xone forum for this Giveaway.

Gary David Bouton has been drawing with traditional tools for almost 40 years, and with digital tools such as Xara for close to 20. As large a fan as he is a practitioner, Gary encourages others to express themselves artistically through his writing, the over 25 books on graphics he’s had published, through the videos and tutorials he creates for The Xara Xone, and through his online school, Exclamations. You can send him some email, visit his personal website, or better yet drop on over to the Xara Xone Forum on TalkGraphics and talk to Gary and the rest of the Xara community.
