This has been in the back of my mind for a while, but I never really had a fully formed thought about it.
Whenever I see or hear about a kid going to a “nerd/geek/computer camp”, the camp seems to be teaching them “website building”. By website building, I mean throwing Dreamweaver (and Flash) infront of them, and seemingly saying “go nuts!”.
This creates a few inherent problems, which I’ll go over here.
I recently was hired to design an icon for a new Mac app that’s soon to be released. In this post I’m going to outline the steps involved in creating that icon, from concept to completion.
For the past week or so, I’ve been working on the logos/icons for my Portfolio and Design portions of the site. I think I’m more or less done, but I’d love for some comments on either icon. If you have an idea about what could be added, removed, or changed, please mention it!
I’m going to be launching a new feature on here, called PSD of The Week, in which every week (probably on Saturday or Sunday), I’ll post the PSD of a icon or logo.

This week’s PSD is a folder which I whipped up in about an hour, for a site I’m working on.
Here’s a small “overlay” bar I made for putting on top of pictures, artwork, etc. It creates a clear area for you to put text, if you have a busy image.
