  • @hookerrabbit

    Great video. Thank you. Don't know if you can help me. I created 50+ Icons for an devise UI. Each icon is currently a separate illustrator file. Each icon will have eventually 4 "states" depending on what's selected on the devise. Is there a best practice to set this is up in Illustrator? Would you do 1 file for all of them and multiple art boards? My concern is the client will come back with a change that will affect all of them (ie: background color for a specific state) Not sure how to set things up to minimize touches.

    • @jammedesign
      @jammedesign  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey there! Thanks a lot for your comment. So, ideally, you would want to have everything in 1 file with all 4 states. So, on one artboard, compile all 50 icons in their fill state and in another in their outlined state, etc. It would be helpful for you also to learn some techniques on editing bulk items on Illustrator. Things like color could be easily edited on all at once by using multiple different techniques on illustrator.
      With all that said, this video is a little outdated in terms of the software to design icons on and you could design icons much more efficiently on Figma for example, particularly for UI (I work in that field currently), and it is much better for handoffs and editing, etc nowadays. This could be a good topic for me to cover in a future video since a lot of people are working purely in Figma now.
      The thing about figma is that you could have a library of the components with a set frame size (say 24x24 maybe), and when you make changes on the components it will reflect on the UI immediately without them also having to change every specific screen all over again. Hope this was helpful! GL

    • @hookerrabbit
      @hookerrabbit ปีที่แล้ว

      @@jammedesign Thanks for the speedy and detailed reply. As I am unfamiliar with Figma I'm gonna have to stick with illustrator for this project. I'll give your 1 file 4 states scenario a shot and see how I do. Fingers crossed. Again, thanks very much.

      Hey man, I think to do something like this there's a toggle to "Remove White Background." Try selecting that option and let me know if that worked. Cheers.

    How about icon size and stroke width? is there any 'rule' for it?

    • @jammedesign
      @jammedesign  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yup, that's usually why u would need to use a specific grid to help maintain the consistency of the sizing in relation to one another. And for the stroke width, you would want to maintain 1 consistent stroke width across all icons in order for them to look coherent. Hope this helps!

    is it possible to use icons from illustrator in indesign ?

    • @jammedesign
      @jammedesign  ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely! Im quite sure all of the adobe suite is well integrated for these functions. Try copying and pasting the icons across from illustrator to indesign and it should copy over naturally based on my knowledge. Good luck!

    CAN YOU TELL US WHATS THE SIZE OF THE ICONS SHOULD BE ?? WHAT SHOULD BE THE MINIMUM SIZE AND WHAT SHOULD BE THE MAXIMUM SIZE .?

    • @jammedesign
      @jammedesign  19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      Hello, that is really variable and based on the project you're working on, as long as the icons you're designing fit together well in context, it should be good.
      Do not worry much about icon sizing, but some standard app icon sizes are 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, etc. Multiples of 8 basically.
      Hope this helps.
