Icon-A-Day, Icons # 38 & 39, Windows Media Player Icons.

Another two for one Icon Special.

Published on February 11, 2005 By mormegil In Icons

Icon 38 & 39 (Windows Media Player Icons) Since we made the Windows Media Player icon as a byproduct of yesterdays WMV File icon. I figured it would be pretty quick to make a few new more related icons. So today we will do a quick two for one special.
Step 1a: For the first icon I simply copy our WMV file and delete everything but the WMP icon.	Step 2a: Now I size, and skew our logo to straighten it up for a "face-on" look. Then using the Reflection & Shadow techniques I give the revised logo some polish.	Here we have our finished icon image.
Step 1b: Now we take our file from yesterday and remove the transparency. I use the Perspective tool to make it look good inside the folder.	Step 2b: I use the Transparency tool to give texture back to the film. I also give the film some new Gloss.	Step 3b: Now I move the WMP Logo in front of the folder, and using the node edit tool edit the folders reflection so it dose not overlay the logos reflection.
Step 4b: Now I place the note from our My Music folder and place it in front of the new folder. To stick with our "Green means music" thing, I change the note to green.	Completed icon image.	Click here to download the finished icon.
Tune in tomorrow for icon #40. I am thinking we might be halfway through the pack. But we shall see.

Nice tutorial

, but the icons are either not uploaded or they're awaiting moderation

(there is one of your skins awaiting moderation - maybe it is icon #40).
