Icon 27, 28 & 29 (Shared Folders)
Today we will use several elements that we did over the last few tutorials. Lets put together the "Shared Folders", My Video, My Music & My Pictures. |
Step 1a:
For these icons we will re-use the little guys we made yesterday, as well as our My Video, My Music, and My Pictures Folders.
|
Step 2a:
The Shared Video Folder is going to be easiest, I simply move the reel to the inside of the folder and give it a standard drop shadow.
|
Step 3a:
I move the folder front back in place, and put a copy of the Admin overlay on top.

Step 1b:
For the Shared Music folder I just delete the Red note, form the My Music Folder, and place the Blue notes inside the folder. I also make the Green note bigger.
|
Step 2b:
I copy our Admin Overlay over the folder and tweak the reflection with the Node Edit tool to make sure it looks right. I also Tweak the size and skew of the Green note, to make sure it looks good.

Step 1c:
For the Shared Pictures folder I rotate the paint brush and lay it down in front of the folder. I also delete the originals reflection and paint stroke.
|
Step 2c:
I use the mesh fill tool to make a new brush tip.
|
Step 3c:
Now I adjust the glare bitmap a bit with the Node Edit tool to polish it off.
